OLD-FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER PIE

An old-fashioned peanut butter pie is a classic (and easy) Southern dessert!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups vanilla wafer cookie crumbs ((I use 60 whole Nilla wafer cookies))
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
¼ cup sugar
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Optional garnish: chopped peanuts; whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Pat the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a buttered 9-inch pie plate. I use the flat bottom of a small measuring cup to press the crumbs in an even layer.
  • Bake the shell in the 400° F oven for 10 minutes, transfer it to a rack, and let cool completely.
  • Once the crust is completely cool, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the peanut butter and cream cheese on medium speed until combined. Add confectioners' sugar, beat to combine. Add cream; mix on low speed until combined. Increase mixer to high speed; beat just until the mixture thickens (be careful not to overbeat).
  • Spread the filling in the pie crust. Cover and refrigerate until firm; at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Garnish with chopped peanuts and whipped cream just before serving.

1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, plus whipped cream, for garnish, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces shaved milk chocolate
Chopped peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • 1 (9-inch) baked chocolate cookie pie crust
  • Sauce: Add the cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the chopped chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the sauce has thickened, roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Pie: In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar and the peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick and light. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the batter into the pie shell, sprinkle with the shaved milk chocolate and freeze for 4 hours.
  • If desired, serve with the hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, and chopped peanuts.

Tips:

  • For a creamier pie, use a high-quality peanut butter. A natural peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt is the best choice.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can cause the pie to be grainy.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped peanuts before serving.

Conclusion:

This classic peanut butter pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy peanut butter filling and chocolate cookie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this peanut butter pie a try.
