Ingredients
Scale
For the Pie Crust and Crumble
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Vanilla Pudding Layer
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly—not smooth. This mixture forms both the base and the topping. Pro Tip: Avoid overmixing or it’ll turn into a paste.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat until light, fluffy, and airy—like a whipped frosting.
- Prepare the Crust: Spread half of the peanut butter crumbles into the bottom of the graham crust and gently press down to form a crumb layer.
- Make the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together cold milk and the vanilla pudding mix for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Combine Layers: Fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream cheese mixture until fully combined and creamy.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the cream filling over the peanut butter crumble layer in the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles evenly over the pie. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the pie overnight.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best crumb texture; crunchy peanut butter may alter the crumble consistency.
- This pie is best served chilled to maintain its structure.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a less sweet version, reduce powdered sugar in the crumble by 1/4 cup.
