Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare the pie crust if needed.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to create a creamy and airy filling without deflating the whipped cream.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the combined filling mixture into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly before serving.
- Add Toppings: Just before serving, optionally sprinkle chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, chill the pie for longer than 2 hours if possible to allow flavors to meld and filling to firm up.
- If desired, you can lightly bake the pre-made crust before filling for a crispier base; follow package instructions.
- This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with natural or crunchy varieties depending on texture preference.
- Chocolate chips topping is optional but adds a nice contrast and slight crunch.
