Peanut Butter Pudding Pie Tips

How can you make peanut butter pudding pie your own?

There are plenty of ways to customize peanut butter pudding pie. Instead of using vanilla pudding mix, you could use chocolate or cheesecake mix instead. Or, swap out the graham cracker crust for an Oreo crust, shortbread crust, or regular pre-baked pie crust. Get more inspiration from other pies that start with pudding mix.

Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Feel free to use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping when making peanut butter pudding pie. Just know that it may not last for quite as long—so eat it up quickly!

How far in advance should you make peanut butter pudding pie?

The peanut butter pudding in this recipe needs to set for 3 to 4 hours before it’s covered with whipped topping, so plan to make it at least that far ahead of serving the pie. However, if you want to make the pudding the night before, that can work, too. Just make sure not to add the whipped topping until soon before serving.
