Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Topping (Optional)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Pour the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set.
- Optional topping: Before serving, top the pie with mini marshmallows and chopped peanuts, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, peanut buttery dessert!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of texture inside the filling.
- For a nut-free version, omit the chopped peanuts and use a nut-free spread instead of peanut butter.
- If you don’t have marshmallow fluff, a homemade marshmallow cream can be used as a substitute.
- This pie is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until serving to maintain its texture.
