Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade, preferably buttery and flaky)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons milk or cream cheese for creamier texture

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream for garnish
  • Chopped roasted peanuts or toasted almonds
  • Chocolate shavings or melted chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Bake your pie crust according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Allow it to cool completely to ensure a crisp base that prevents sogginess.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and fluffy, creating a luscious filling. If desired, add milk or cream cheese for a creamier texture.
  3. Whip the Cream: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten the texture and add classic creaminess.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter cream filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let flavors meld and allow the pie to set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add desired toppings such as fresh whipped cream, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings to enhance both presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth combining and uniform filling.
  • Chill your mixing bowl for easier and quicker whipping of cream.
  • Do not overbeat whipped cream; stop when soft peaks form to maintain light, airy texture.
  • Let the pie set properly in the refrigerator to develop full flavor and firm texture.
  • Choose a high-quality peanut butter for best richness and flavor.
