Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
Peanut Butter Crumble
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Filling
- 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 peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until crumbly. Set aside half of the mixture for topping the pie later.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
- Layer Peanut Butter Crumble: Spread half of the peanut butter crumble evenly in the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust, creating a textured and flavorful base layer.
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Combine Mixtures and Fill Pie: Gently fold the thickened pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Pour this creamy filling over the peanut butter crumble in the crust.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle the reserved peanut butter crumble evenly over the top of the pie. Cover and chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Chilling for minimum 4 hours is essential for the pie to set and develop flavor.
- Use softened cream cheese for smoother, easier blending.
- The pie is best served cold directly from the refrigerator.
- For extra crunch, toast the graham cracker crust slightly before assembling.
- This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
