Ingredients
- 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 Peanut Butter Crumble: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until crumbly. Set aside half of the mixture for topping.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Layer the Crust: Spread half of the peanut butter crumbles evenly over the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
- Combine Pudding with Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla pudding mix until thickened. Fold this pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling over the peanut butter crumbles in the crust. Top with the remaining peanut butter crumbles.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before serving to ensure it sets properly.
Notes
- Extra Peanut Butter Flavor: Drizzle melted peanut butter over the top before serving for a rich, nutty taste.
- Garnish Ideas: Add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips to elevate the presentation and flavor.
