Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie blends pumpkin puree with creamy peanut butter and warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a classic pie crust. The filling includes eggs, brown sugar, heavy cream, and maple syrup for sweetness and richness. It bakes first at high heat then lowers to finish cooking, producing a custard that sets with a slight jiggle in the center. Served chilled and topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream, this pie offers a unique nutty twist on traditional pumpkin pie flavors.
Ingredients
Pie
- 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 15 oounces pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Pie
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add in the brown sugar, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Whisk until the spices are incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Add in the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, 2 eggs, heavy cream, and maple syrup. Mix on low with a hand mixer until combined.
- Roll out pie dough and line an 9 inch pie plate with dough. Trim edges and crimp them.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into the pie crust.
- Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Without opening oven, reduce oven to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30 β 40 minutes. To make sure the pie is done, give it a wiggle. If it slightly jiggles in JUST the middle like jello, then itβs done. If it jiggles all over, it needs to bake longer. Turn off the heat and crack the oven door slightly. Let it cool in the oven
- Once completely cooled, store in the refrigerator.
Whipped Cream
- In a large bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Whip on medium until it begins to thicken. Turn the mixer on high and beat until the cream reaches soft peaks.
- Sift in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until it reaches a firm consistency.
- Store in the fridge.
Notes
- Watch the baking time carefully to prevent the pie from over-baking, which can cause cracks.
- Allow the pie to cool fully in the oven with the door cracked open to set the custard gently.
- Store the pie refrigerated and serve chilled for best texture.
