Creamy Peanut Butter Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Oreo Pie Crust
- 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 8 oz. Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)
- Optional: Chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Start by preparing the Oreo Pie Crust. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own by crushing Oreo cookies and mixing them with melted butter, then pressing the mixture into the pie dish. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought Oreo Pie Crust for convenience.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Use an electric mixer to blend them until smooth and well combined.
- Sweeten it Up:
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Continue to mix until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Fluffiness:
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream) until the filling is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a creamy texture.
- Fill the Crust:
- Carefully spread the peanut butter filling into the prepared Oreo Pie Crust, ensuring an even layer. Use a spatula to smooth out the top for a polished finish.
- Chill Time:
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Before serving, you can garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once chilled, slice and serve your delicious Creamy Peanut Butter Pie. It’s a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with the smoothness of cream cheese in a perfect harmony of sweetness.
This Peanut Butter Pie is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves the irresistible combination of peanut butter and creaminess. Enjoy!
