This smooth creamy pie with a big peanut butter taste reminds me of Mom. It's sure to be a hit around your house, too. I like to make this dessert in the summer because it's simple to prepare and the kitchen stays cool. — Julianne Johnson, Grove City, Minnesota
Ingredients
-
1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
-
2 packages (3 ounces each) cook-and-serve vanilla or chocolate pudding
-
4 cups 2% milk
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
-
2 cups frozen whipped topping
Directions
-
1.
Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°.
-
2.
Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack or until edge is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
-
3.
In a saucepan, cook pudding and milk over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
-
4.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, cut peanut butter into confectioners' sugar until small crumbs form. (Peanut butter consistency may vary; add additional confectioners' sugar if necessary.) Set aside about 2 tablespoons of crumbs; sprinkle remaining mixture into pie shell. Pour pudding over crumbs.
-
5.
Cover and refrigerate until set, 3-4 hours. Top with whipped topping; sprinkle with reserved crumbs.
