A creamy peanut butter pie loved by kids, featuring a smooth peanut flavor combined with vanilla pudding and topped with whipped cream and extra peanut butter.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 8 ounces of Cool Whip, vanilla instant pudding, and skim milk until smooth.
- Add peanut butter and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baked pie shell, preferably a chocolate crust.
- Top with 4 ounces of Cool Whip and a tablespoon of peanut butter before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute regular milk for skim milk for a richer flavor. If desired, you can use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth for added texture. For a different twist, consider incorporating a layer of crushed chocolate cookies in the pie crust or serving alongside Low-Fat Angel Food Dessert for a lighter finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with additional whipped topping and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent touch. This pie pairs beautifully with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas, making it a perfect dessert to accompany Faye'S Overnight Fruit Salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover P-Nut Butter Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to freeze it, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight rather than at room temperature to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, P-Nut Butter Pie can be made a day in advance, which allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. This makes it a great option for parties or gatherings.
What can I use instead of Cool Whip?
If you prefer a homemade option, you can substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped cream. Just whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the mixture. This will provide a fresh taste and a lovely texture to your pie.
Is it possible to modify the sweetness of the pie?
Absolutely! You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of peanut butter or using a sugar-free pudding mix. If you like it sweeter, consider adding a bit of powdered sugar to the whipped cream topping for extra sweetness without overpowering the peanut flavor.
