  • ½ cup powered sugar
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 3.4 ounce box of instant Jell-O vanilla pudding mix

Instructions
 

Peanut Butter Crumbles

  • Using an electric mixer, in a medium bowl, add powdered sugar and peanut butter.
  • Mix on medium speed until small peanut butter crumbles start to come together.
  • If mixture is too powdery, simply add a few drops of water to the and larger nuggets will form.
  • Add half the peanut butter nuggets to the bottom of the pie shell.

Peanut Butter Filling

  • Using a mixer, mix together the dry vanilla instant pudding mix, milk and peanut butter together for 2 minutes.
  • Add in the whipped cream (make sure it's already whipped) and mix in lightly.
  • Pour pudding into pie crust on top of the peanut butter crumbles.

Whipped Cream Topping and Crumbles

  • Top with whipped cream.
  • Add half the remaining peanut butter crumbles (or as many as you want) to the top whipped cream.
  • Let the pie cool in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to set up before cutting.

Notes

Want to make it a frozen treat? Go for it — pop the pie in the freezer and sneak a slice whenever the craving hits (don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me!). Just let it sit for about 5 minutes after slicing, then dig in.
Craving more peanut butter flavor? Stir in a couple extra tablespoons of peanut butter to the filling. Want it extra creamy? Add an extra ½ cup of whipped cream. We love it just the way it’s written — but trust me, I’ve tried it every which way during my experimenting! 😊
