Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust

Peanut Butter Crumble

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pudding Layer

  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly and not smooth. This will form both the base layer and the topping for the pie. Be careful not to overmix to avoid turning it into a paste.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese together with granulated sugar until smooth. Then add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and airy, similar to a whipped frosting texture.
  3. Prepare the Crust: Spread half of the peanut butter crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust. Gently press it down to form a firm crumb layer.
  4. Make the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk the cold milk and the instant vanilla pudding mix together briskly for 2 to 3 minutes until the pudding thickens.
  5. Combine Layers: Fold the thickened pudding mixture gently into the whipped cream cheese filling until fully combined and creamy to maintain the airy texture.
  6. Fill the Crust: Pour the creamy filling over the peanut butter crumble layer in the crust and smooth the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
  7. Top and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles evenly over the top of the pie. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set perfectly.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the pie overnight for a firmer texture and enhanced flavor.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth crumbles, natural peanut butter may alter texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor, increase the peanut butter in the crumble by 1/4 cup.
  • This pie is best served chilled, keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • To lighten the pie, substitute half of the heavy cream with whipped topping, but it may affect the texture slightly.
