🥜🥧 Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie – Creamy, Dreamy & Pure Comfort Food! ❤️

🛒 What You'll Need

For the Pie

1 9-inch baked pie crust, cooled

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

4 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

½ cup powdered sugar, for the whipped cream

For the Topping

Whipped cream, for serving

¼ cup chocolate chips or chocolate shavings

2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Prepare the crust 🥧

Use a baked and completely cooled 9-inch pie crust. A homemade crust is wonderful, but a good-quality refrigerated or frozen crust works beautifully too.

2. Make the peanut butter mixture 🥜

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, ¾ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

3. Whip the cream ☁️

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with ½ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

4. Fold everything together ❤️

Gently fold about two-thirds of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until light and fluffy. Don't overmix—you want to keep that lovely airy texture.

5. Fill the pie 🥧

Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.

6. Chill until set ❄️

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This gives the filling time to firm up and the flavors time to come together.

7. Decorate and serve 🍫

Before serving, top with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings or drizzle with melted chocolate.

Then slice, serve, and prepare for everyone to ask for seconds! 😍

✨ Easy Variations

🍫 Chocolate Peanut Butter: Use a chocolate cookie crust and add chocolate drizzle.

🍪 Cookie Crust: Make the crust with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.

🥜 Crunchy: Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.

🍌 Banana Peanut Butter: Add thin banana slices between the crust and filling.

🍯 Extra Sweet: Drizzle each slice with a little warm honey.

💡 BASSMA'S LITTLE TIP

Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. This helps create that wonderfully smooth, lump-free peanut butter filling.

And don't rush the chilling time! A few hours in the refrigerator makes all the difference between a loose filling and a beautifully sliceable pie. ❤️
