Categories     dessert

Time 7h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
4 cups marshmallow crème, such as Fluff
2 cups crispy rice cereal
2 cups pretzels, coarsely crushed
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Butter a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of the marshmallow creme and whisk continuously until melted and combined with the butter, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and pretzels until coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and all the way up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
  • Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of the marshmallow crème and 1 cup of the peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and continue beating until light, fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top, taking care not to cover the crust edge. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and pourable, about 1 minute.
  • Drizzle half of the peanut butter over the pie. Spoon the remaining 1 cup marshmallow creme onto the center of the pie and smooth it out slightly so that it looks like a soft marshmallow pillow. Drizzle with the remaining peanut butter. Chill until set, 6 hours and up to overnight.

Categories     Desserts

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 T. granulated sugar
1 1/2 c. whipping cream, divided
1 (6 oz.) prepared graham cracker pie crust
chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of whipping cream with an electric mixer at medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, beat remaining whipping cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar at high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to loosen it up; then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  • Spoon peanut butter mixture into the graham cracker crust. Cover and chill at least 8 hours before serving.
  • Serve each slice with a sprinkling of chopped peanuts, if desired.
  • For the best texture result, stick with regular cream cheese rather than substituting lower-fat Neufchatel cream cheese.
  • You can substitute an 8-ounce container of Cool Whip for the homemade whipped cream, if you'd like. Omit the recipe's whipping cream, as well as the granulated sugar and vanilla extract used to sweeten the homemade whipped cream. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as written, using Cool Whip in the homemade whipped cream's place.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanut butter. For the best flavor, use a creamy, natural peanut butter that has no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs will make the pie filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. An overbaked pie will be dry and crumbly.
  • Chill the pie completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up.

Conclusion:

This light and fluffy peanut butter pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this pie a try!
