PEANUT BUTTER PIE RECIPE

For some reason Father’s Day always sneaks up on me. The kids are just getting out of school and summer is beginning. It’s really hard to buy anything for my husband because he doesn’t want much and if he does want something he’ll usually research it forever and then buy it.

This year I was determined to make his day special. With a little suggestion from him I found out that he needed a chainsaw and really wanted some coconut peanut butter from North Shore Goodies in Hawaii. It was nice to actually get him something he really wanted because he deserves it.

For Father’s Day I made him this peanut butter pie. No, I didn’t use the coconut peanut butter from Hawaii because that stuff costs more than my life. You’re going to be tempted to drizzle chocolate on this but to really taste the creamy peanut butter filling flavor you should leave it off.

Peanut Butter Pie Recipe | The Girl Who Ate Everything

I usually use white sugar in my graham cracker crusts but this one had brown sugar in it and I don’t think I will ever go back. It adds more depth and a warm richness that I love. Although we bake the crust in this easy peanut butter pie recipe, if you’re completely determined to not turn on your oven you could chill the crust first instead.

PRO TIPS:

  • You can buy graham cracker crumbs or use a food processor to crush them up.
  • This is be a no-bake pie if you skip cooking the crust. It just gives it that nice golden flavor that no-bake desserts don’t have.
  • Mix it up. Make a chocolate crust with chocolate graham crackers if you love chocolate. Or make an Oreo cookie crust with crushed Oreos.

TOPPINGS:

You can top it with anything you like.

  • Whipped cream Layer: In the empty mixer bowl, whip cream, 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream evenly over filling. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Slice and serve.
