Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, baked and cooled

Peanut Butter Crumbles

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

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

Whipped Topping

  • 2 cups sweetened whipped cream or 8 oz Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Crumbles: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter together until crumbly. Set the mixture aside for layering later.
  2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In another bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter together vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
  3. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip into the thickened pudding mixture until fully combined, creating a smooth and creamy filling.
  4. Layer the Pie: Place half of the peanut butter crumbles in the bottom of the baked and cooled 9-inch pie crust. Pour the peanut butter filling over the crumbles and spread it out evenly.
  5. Add Whipped Topping: Spread or pipe the 2 cups of sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip over the filling layer to create a fluffy top layer.
  6. Finish with Crumbles: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles over the whipped cream topping for texture and added flavor.
  7. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This pie requires no baking except for the pie crust, which should be fully baked and cooled before assembling.
  • You can substitute the pie crust with a Graham cracker crust for a different texture and flavor as some variations suggest.
  • Use either freshly whipped cream or store-bought Cool Whip for convenience; both work well in this recipe.
  • Refrigeration time is important to ensure that the filling sets properly for clean slices.
  • For a nut-free variation, consider substituting peanut butter with sunflower seed butter but be aware it will alter the flavor.
