Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Crumbles: In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Reserve half of these crumbles for the topping.
- Create the Cream Filling: Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then whip until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Crust: Sprinkle half of the prepared peanut butter crumbles evenly across the bottom of the graham cracker pie crust. This creates a delicious base layer of nutty goodness.
- Make the Pudding Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until it thickens. Fold this pudding mixture into the whipped cream cheese filling, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Layer the Pie: Pour the creamy filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly over the peanut butter crumbles. Top the pie with the remaining peanut butter crumbles for an irresistible crunch.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set. Serve chilled and watch it disappear in no time!
Notes
- Graham Cracker Crust: You can swap the pre-made crust for a homemade version if you prefer. Just crush graham crackers, mix with melted butter, and press into a pie pan.
- Extra Toppings: For added flair, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top before serving.
- Softening Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Storage: This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, though it’s so tasty it likely won’t last that long!
