Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Base: Begin by spreading 1 cup of Cool Whip evenly over the bottom of the graham cracker crust, creating a smooth and creamy layer. 🥄

Add the Jelly: Next, drop tablespoonfuls of grape jelly onto the Cool Whip topping, spreading it carefully to ensure even distribution. 🍇

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix, whisking until smooth and creamy. Then, add the peanut butter to the mixture, blending thoroughly until fully incorporated. Fold in the remaining Cool Whip topping until the filling is light and airy. 🥣
-
Layer the Pie: Carefully spread the peanut butter pudding mixture over the grape jelly layer, ensuring that it covers the entire surface evenly. Smooth out the top with a spatula for a polished finish. 🥄

Freeze: Cover the pie with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for approximately 3 1/2 hours, allowing it to set and firm up. ❄️
-
Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the peanut butter pie from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to allow it to slightly soften. Slice into portions and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent treat that kids (and adults) will love! 🎉
Tips for Serving:
- For added texture and flavor, garnish each slice of peanut butter pie with crushed peanuts or a drizzle of melted peanut butter before serving.
- Experiment with different flavors of jelly or jam for a fun twist on this classic recipe. Strawberry, raspberry, or even apricot would all pair beautifully with the rich peanut butter filling.
- To make individual servings, divide the filling mixture among small dessert cups or mini graham cracker crusts for adorable mini pies that are perfect for parties or gatherings.
