Peanut Butter And Jelly Pie
A creamy, sweet peanut butter and jelly pie with a smooth filling, topped with whipped topping and fruit preserves, perfect for casual gatherings or dessert indulgence.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese and peanut butter, mixing until well blended.
- Add powdered sugar and milk; mix well.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared pie crust and chill.
- Spread strawberry preserves onto the chilled pie.
- Top with thawed non-dairy whipped topping.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the powdered sugar to 1/4 cup. Experiment with different fruit preserves like raspberry or blueberry for a unique twist. This pie pairs beautifully with Mom's Creamy Cheesecake for a dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, garnished with additional whipped topping or fresh strawberries for a pop of color. It makes a delightful dessert for any occasion, especially alongside American recipes like Stir And Roll Biscuits for brunch. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie can be served cold directly from the fridge, but if you prefer a softer texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as this can affect the texture of the whipped topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust for this pie?
Yes, you can use a graham cracker crust or an Oreo crust if you prefer. Both options will provide a different flavor and texture to the pie. Just be sure to adjust the chilling time if using a crust that requires baking.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this pie vegan, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and use a plant-based whipped topping. Ensure the pie crust is also vegan-friendly, as some prepared crusts may contain animal products.
What can I do if my filling is too thick?
If the filling is too thick, try adding an additional tablespoon of milk and mixing until smooth. This will help achieve a creamier consistency. If you prefer a fluffier filling, fold in a bit more whipped topping before spreading it in the crust.
