Notes

  • Allow the pie crust to cool completely before adding in the filling. If the pie crust is still warm, it will hurt the integrity of the peanut butter filling.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl when mixing your ingredients together. You want to make sure that everything is fully incorporated before adding it to the pie crust.
  • This pie does need time to firm up in the fridge. Make sure you allow it at least 2 hours before slicing. You can make it the night before and keep it in the fridge until it's time to enjoy.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional toppings.
Storage: Store peanut butter pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
