Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pie crust (9-inch, baked and cooled or homemade)

Peanut Butter Crumbles

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • Few drops of water (if needed)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant Jell-O vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup whipped cream (or 1 cup Cool Whip)

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • Remaining peanut butter crumbles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make Peanut Butter Crumbles: Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Mix on medium speed until small peanut butter crumbles start to form. If the mixture seems too powdery, add a few drops of water gradually until larger nuggets form.
  2. Layer Crumbles in Pie Shell: Place half of the peanut butter crumbles evenly on the bottom of the baked and cooled pie crust.
  3. Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the dry vanilla instant pudding mix, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1/2 cup peanut butter together using a mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip into the pudding mixture, stirring lightly to maintain a fluffy texture.
  5. Assemble Pie Filling: Pour the peanut butter pudding filling evenly over the peanut butter crumbles in the pie crust.
  6. Add Whipped Cream Topping: Spread 2 cups of whipped cream on top of the pudding layer, smoothing with a spatula.
  7. Garnish with Crumbles: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles over the whipped cream topping to finish the pie.
  8. Chill Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • The pie crust can be homemade or store-bought, but make sure it is fully baked and cooled before assembling.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth crumbles and filling; natural peanut butter may affect texture.
  • Adjust the water quantity carefully when making peanut butter crumbles to get the right consistency.
  • For best results, chill the pie for at least 2 hours to ensure it holds together well when cut.
  • This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped heavy cream if preferred.
