Ingredient Notes

• Oreo Crust– I like to make use of an Oreo crust for this pie. I bake the crust for 10 minutes after which let it cool. For those who desire a no-bake crust, you’ll be able to freeze the pie crust for half-hour as an alternative of baking. For those who don’t need a chocolate crust, you should utilize a graham cracker crust.
• Cream Cheese– Cream cheese helps stabilize the filling and makes it tremendous creamy. Use a brick of full-fat cream cheese that’s at room temperature.
• Whipping Cream– Beat heavy whipping cream till stiff peaks kind. I add a bit of confectioner’s sugar to sweeten the whipped cream and to assist add stability.
• Peanut Butter– I like to recommend utilizing a creamy business peanut butter (Skippy or Jif) for this pie recipe, not pure peanut butter.

Add 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar and beat till stiff peaks kind. Switch the whipped cream right into a separate bowl and place within the fridge till prepared to make use of.
• In the identical mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt till gentle and fluffy, about 2 to three minutes.

The way to Retailer

• Refrigeration: At all times refrigerate peanut butter pie, because it accommodates dairy (cream cheese, whipped cream, and so forth.), and retaining it chilled will guarantee it stays fit for human consumption and maintains its creamy consistency. To keep away from the pie absorbing any odors from different meals within the fridge, cowl it tightly with plastic wrap or retailer it in an hermetic container. It can keep recent within the fridge for 3 to 4 days. After that, the filling might begin to lose its texture, and the crust might turn into a bit soggy.
• Freezing: If you’re freezing, don’t add the peanut butter cups or chocolate drizzle. To freeze the pie, first wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, adopted by a layer of aluminum foil. This double-wrapping will assist forestall freezer burn and protect the flavour. You’ll be able to both freeze the entire pie or slice it into particular person items for simpler entry. For those who freeze particular person slices, you’ll be able to wrap every slice individually. The pie may be saved within the freezer for as much as 2 months.

Keep away from thawing it within the microwave, as it will possibly trigger the filling to turn into too tender and lose its construction. Add the peanut butter cups and chocolate drizzle and serve!
