Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust cooled
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Whipped cream optional, for topping
  • Chopped peanuts optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Ensure the pie crust is pre-baked and completely cooled. If using a store-bought crust, follow the package instructions for baking.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for the best results.
  4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the milk, mixing until fully incorporated and creamy.
  5. Combine the Layers: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined. Add the peanut butter crumbles and stir gently to create the filling.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a crunchy texture, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
  • Customize your pie by adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel on top.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
