Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pie Crust:

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the Peanut Butter Crumbles:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

For the Whipped Topping:

  • 2 cups whipped cream or an 8 oz container of whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Crumbles:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and creamy peanut butter.
    • Using a fork or your fingers, mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles small pebbles.
    • Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
    • Add the creamy peanut butter to the pudding mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
    • Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • Sprinkle half of the peanut butter crumbles evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
    • Pour the peanut butter filling over the crumbles, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
    • Top the filling with the remaining whipped cream or whipped topping, smoothing it out or creating decorative swirls as desired.
    • Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles over the top of the whipped layer.
  4. Chill the Pie:
    • Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Notes

  • Pie Crust Options:ย While a traditional pie crust is commonly used, you can also opt for a graham cracker or cookie crust for added flavor and texture.
  • Whipped Topping:ย Homemade whipped cream offers a fresh taste, but store-bought whipped topping can be used for convenience.
  • Storage:ย Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
