Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together skim or fat-free milk and fat-free sour cream in a bowl.
- Add the instant fat-free, sugar-free vanilla pudding and mix well until smooth.

- Pour the mixture into the baked 9-inch crust.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar instead of conventional varieties. If you're short on time, a store-bought low-fat crust can save you some effort. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the filling. This pie pairs beautifully with Easy Salsa Snacks for a light appetizer before dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, garnished with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added texture. It pairs well with fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas or strawberries, for a delightful contrast. This dessert can also be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delicious end to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Peanut Butter Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing the pie. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or simply enjoy it chilled for a refreshing treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use almond milk instead of skim milk?
Yes, almond milk can be used as a substitute for skim milk. However, the consistency may differ slightly since almond milk is thinner. Ensure you choose an unsweetened variety to keep the pie low in sugar.
How can I make this pie vegan?
To make this pie vegan, substitute the fat-free sour cream with a dairy-free alternative, such as cashew cream or coconut yogurt. Use a vegan pie crust and confirm that the pudding mix is vegan-friendly.
Can I add chocolate to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can incorporate unsweetened cocoa powder into the filling for a chocolate peanut butter pie. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste, or use a chocolate pie crust for an extra chocolatey experience.
