1. Make the Pie Crust (or Prep Shortcut)
For homemade crust: Mix flour + salt, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough forms. Chill 30 mins, roll out, and blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 mins until golden. Cool completely.
For pre-made crust: Simply thaw or bake as directed.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
Beat peanut butter + cream cheese until smooth.
Mix in powdered sugar + vanilla.
Gently fold in whipped cream until fully combined.
3. Assemble & Chill
Spread filling into the cooled crust.
Top with additional whipped cream and garnish with peanuts or chocolate.
Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).
Pro Tips for the Perfect Pie 🔥
✔ Use regular peanut butter (natural PB can make the filling too oily).
✔ Keep crust cold before baking to prevent shrinkage.
✔ For extra richness, add a layer of chocolate ganache under the filling.
✔ Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days (if it lasts that long!).
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
✨ With a drizzle of caramel or hot fudge for extra decadence.
✨ Pair with a cold glass of milk – The ultimate combo!
✨ Top with mini Reese’s cups for a fun twist.
