Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie
Old fashioned peanut butter pie is a creamy pie using both peanut butter and cream cheese for a light texture. Topped with peanut butter crumbles and salt for a little extra pop.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust 9"
- 1¼ cups (322.5 g) creamy peanut butter not natural
- 6 oz (170.1 g) cream cheese room temp
- 1½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) salt
- 1½ cups (357 g) whipping cream can also use cool whip
- 2 tablespoon creamy peanut butter for topping
- ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar for topping
- flaked sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Make or buy a 9-inch pie crust in advance. Blind bake and cool.
- In a medium bowl mix together peanut butter, cream cheese, salt and powdered sugar until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment, whisk whipping cream on high until stiff peaks are formed.
- Fold half the whipping cream into the peanut butter mixture, followed by the second half.
- Scoop peanut butter mixture into pie crust and allow to set and firm up for at least 2 hours. I like to let mine sit overnight.
- In a small bowl mix together 2 tablespoon peanut butter with ¼ cup powdered sugar with a fork until it forms a crumble.
- Top chilled pie with whip cream, peanut butter crumbles and a little flaked salt.
Notes
This pie also works well with a graham cracker crust.
I like to make a batch of whip cream and top the whole pie with a layer before serving, but you can also use store bought whipping cream.
Make sure your cream cheese is completely room temp for easy mixing.
