Instructions
-
Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the pie crust and filling. -
Prepare the Peanut Layer
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar, and 1/2 cup of half-and-half cream.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is well-blended and smooth.
-
Fill the Pie Crust
- Pour the prepared peanut mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust. Spread it evenly to ensure every bite has a delightful peanutty crunch.
-
Bake the Pie Crust
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Be cautious not to overbake the crust, as it can quickly turn too dark and lose its perfect texture.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
-
Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and well-blended.
- Gradually add in 1/2 cup of milk while continuing to beat the mixture.
- Next, add the vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix into the peanut butter mixture, and increase the speed of the mixer to medium. Beat for about 2 minutes until the filling is smooth and thickened.
-
Assemble the Pie
- Once the crust has cooled completely, pour the prepared filling over the peanut layer in the pie shell.
- Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly across the surface.
-
Add the Topping
- Generously sprinkle 3/4 to 1 cup of chopped peanuts over the top of the pie, ensuring even coverage. The peanuts add a lovely crunch that contrasts with the creamy filling.
-
Chill and Set
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
- This cooling time is crucial for ensuring that the pie holds together when sliced and served.
-
Serve and Enjoy
- Once the pie has chilled, it’s ready to be served. Slice into pieces and enjoy this rich, creamy, and peanut-packed dessert!
Recipe Tips
- Pie Crust Options: Feel free to use a store-bought pie crust for convenience or make your own from scratch if you have time. A graham cracker crust could also be a fun twist for extra sweetness.
- Chill Time: While the pie requires at least 2 hours of chilling time, letting it rest overnight will ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Peanut Substitutions: If you want a slightly different take, swap out the peanuts for other types of nuts such as almonds, cashews, or even a combination of mixed nuts.
- Extra Creaminess: For a richer, creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top before serving.
Storage Suggestions
- Refrigeration: This pie can be stored in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the pie for up to 3 months if you want to prepare it ahead of time. Simply cover it tightly with plastic wrap and then with aluminum foil. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
