Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 4-5 tbsp ice water
(Shortcut: Use a pre-made graham cracker or pastry crust!)
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (not natural—use regular for best texture!)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
For the Topping:
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped + sweetened
- Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions 👩
1. Make the Pie Crust (or Prep Shortcut)
- For homemade crust: Mix flour + salt, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough forms. Chill 30 mins, roll out, and blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 mins until golden. Cool completely.
- For pre-made crust: Simply thaw or bake as directed.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
- Beat peanut butter + cream cheese until smooth.
- Mix in powdered sugar + vanilla.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until fully combined.
3. Assemble & Chill
- Spread filling into the cooled crust.
- Top with additional whipped cream and garnish with peanuts or chocolate.
- Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).
Pro Tips for the Perfect Pie 🔥
✔ Use regular peanut butter (natural PB can make the filling too oily).
✔ Keep crust cold before baking to prevent shrinkage.
✔ For extra richness, add a layer of chocolate ganache under the filling.
✔ Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days (if it lasts that long!).
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
✨ With a drizzle of caramel or hot fudge for extra decadence.
✨ Pair with a cold glass of milk – The ultimate combo!
✨ Top with mini Reese’s cups for a fun twist.
