Easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, it is a crowd-pleaser that sets beautifully in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, baked and cooled

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 milk
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip

For the Whipped Topping

  • 2 cups sweetened whipped cream or 8 oz Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanut Butter Crumbles: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside for later layering.
  2. Make Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated and creamy, taking care not to deflate the whipped texture.
  4. Assemble Pie Base: Spread half of the peanut butter crumbles evenly into the bottom of the baked and cooled 9-inch pie crust. Then pour and spread the peanut butter filling mixture evenly over the crumbles.
  5. Add Whipped Topping: Evenly spread or pipe the 2 cups of sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip over the peanut butter filling layer, creating a smooth top.
  6. Finish with Crumbles: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles generously over the whipped topping for an added crunchy texture and flavor contrast.
  7. Chill Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set and develop flavors before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a pre-baked pie crust to avoid a soggy bottom and for time-saving convenience.
  • For a lighter version, substitute regular whipped cream with a low-fat or fat-free variety.
  • Make sure to chill the pie long enough for clean slices and a firm texture.
  • You can swap creamy peanut butter for natural peanut butter if preferred, but the texture of crumbles may vary.
  • Instant pudding mix comes in various flavors; vanilla is recommended to complement peanut butter’s taste.
