Creamy Peanut Butter Cup Pie
Yield 2 pies
Smooth, light, creamy peanut butter cup pie. This is one of my “go to” desserts that is always a hit. The recipe yields two pies because one is just never enough. If I’m bringing it to a potluck, having a second pie guarantees that everyone will be able to have a second piece…and trust me, everyone will want a second piece. If I’m cooking for a smaller crowd, then it provides an opportunity to make someone’s day by surprising them with the second pie. I’ve tested this recipe over and over so that the level of sweetness and fluffiness is just right. This is love on a plate right here y’all…enjoy!
Ingredients
- Two 6 oz. ready to use graham cracker pie crusts
- One 8 oz. bag of mini peanut butter cups, halved
- Chocolate syrup, for topping
Filling:
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 c. sour cream
- Two 8 oz. packages cream cheese
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ¾ c. creamy peanut butter
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Beat heavy whipping cream on high until it is the consistently of whipped cream (you will have peaks that keep their shape when lifting your mixer). To avoid splattering, it may be helpful to start your mixer on low and gradually increase to high. Set aside.
- Using a separate bowl, mix the remaining “filling” ingredients on medium high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the “filling” mixture with a spatula until evenly incorporated.
- Pour half of the mixture into each of the pie crusts.
- Top each pie with peanut butter cups and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup prior to serving.
