Ingredients
- Graham Crackers- These crackers will need to be crushed.
- Butter- You will need unsalted butter to control the salt in this recipe.
- Peanut Butter- This will be used for that signature peanut butter flavor.
- Cream Cheese- You will need to have the cream cheese softened or at room temperature.
- Powdered Sugar- This sugar is perfect for homemade frostings.
- Cool Whip- You can use homemade whipped cream.
- Vanilla- You will need pure vanilla for the best flavoring.
How to Make This Peanut Butter Pie Recipe
Set your oven to 350 degrees and start to put together your crust. You can use a Ziploc bag or processor to crush the crackers until very fine. Add the butter into a heat-safe bowl and melt in the microwave. Then, add the butter to the graham crackers and mix to combine.
Heavily and evenly spray a pan with cooking spray and press down the graham cracker mixture into the prepared dish. You will need to press until the edges come up halfway and are evenly coated throughout. Put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
While the crust is cooling, begin to prepare your filling.
Add the peanut butter and cream cheese into a large bowl.
Fully combine with a hand or stand mixer and when ready, add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat again.
Add one spoon full of cool whip or whipped cream to the finished filling.
Mix one spoonful to easily combine. Then, gently add in the rest of the cool whip and fold in to combine. Doing this will make sure the pie is light and fluffy.
Once finished, add the filling to the prepared crust.
Then, place in the fridge for 2 hours before enjoying.
What Crust Do I Use With Peanut Butter Pie?
I like to use a graham cracker crust when I am making this pie. You can also use a chocolate crumb crust too if you want to change it slightly. You can make these crusts yourself or you can buy store bought.
Does This Need to be Refrigerated?
This peanut butter pie will indeed need to be refrigerated. The reason for this is because this recipe has cream cheese in it, and if left out will go bad. Putting in the fridge will also help with a longer shelf life.
