Easy Peanut Butter Pie recipe on SouthernKissed.com

Ever hear that expression “Easy as pie?”  It must be a reference to Peanut Butter Pie.  (It can’t be a reference to apple pie – that’s a lot of work!) You don’t need any baking skills in order to make this pie.  A good sturdy mixer is the only tool you’ll need.

  • You start with a premade graham cracker pie crust.
  • Next, combine 1/2 cup of peanut butter with 1 cup of milk in a mixer and blend well.
  • Add 1 small box of instant vanilla pudding and mix for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add a small carton of Cool Whip and mix until well blended.
  • Pour into prepared pie crust and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove from freezer 30 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with more whipped topping, if desired.

Note:  If you would like to decorate the top with Reddi-wip, only do so prior to serving.  If left too long it “melts.”

    We should officially retire the phrase: easy as pie. But this recipe sounds pretty doable, and delicious. Thanks for the idea.
