When I was living in Italy a few years ago (where peanut butter is scarce and expensive) I came across this recipe and had to make it. It has become a staple in my life, and I hope that you can enjoy it, too. It’s really, really easy and fast, by the way!
Peanut Butter Pie
crust:
butter and chocolate cookies.
(Or, you know, just buy one already made at the grocery store. Most stores sell both plain graham and chocolate graham crusts. It’s actually often cheaper to buy one than to buy the ingredients to make your own. I always choose the Oreo one because it’s the right kind of chocolate for this recipe.)
filling:
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 block of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
mix those together till smooth
gently fold in 2 cups whipped cream
(to save time, I just use cool whip or canned whipped cream)
add 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, fold in
sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top
Refrigerate for a few hours before eating.
Enjoy!!
So yummy! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Absolutely delicious. Thanks!
I’ll have to try this one! We just had dinner the the home of an amish family and they served peanut butter pie for desert. Theirs had peanut butter mixed with powdered sugar spread over the crust and then a thick vanilla pudding over it! YUM. It was good.
Just found your blog…love it! My sister livedin Italy for a few months and constantly groaned her the lack peanut butter!
This is the best pie I’ve ever had in Italy
