Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs about 11 long rectangle crackers crushed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
Pudding Layer:
- 1 (4.6-ounce) (4.6-ounce) box cook-and-serve vanilla pudding or about 3 cups homemade vanilla pudding (see note)
- ⅓ to ½ to ½ cup creamy or crunch peanut butter
Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ cup crushed Butterfinger Bars
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar and mix. Stir in the butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until the pudding layer is ready.
- Follow the package or recipe directions for your pudding of choice. When the pudding is thickened and starting to boil (at the point that you would normally take it off the stove) stir in the peanut butter until it melts. Pour the pudding into the pie crust. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly to the surface and refrigerate until the pie is well-chilled, 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- In a small bowl, whip the cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the pie and top with the crushed candy bars. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- Adaptable: let’s talk about the adaptability of this pie, since that’s what makes it so great.
- Crust: first, choose a crust. Plain everyday pie crust (already baked), graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, the options are endless. Sub out the graham crackers with Oreos, omit the sugar and voila Oreo crust.
- Pudding: second, choose a pudding flavor. I opted for the easy route and used a box of cook-and-serve pudding but you could absolutely use a homemade pudding recipe. Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, Butterscotch. Again, the pudding options are astounding.
- Add-Ins: third, choose add-ins of your choice. My rule of thumb is about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of “something” to add to the pudding. 1/3 cup of peanut butter in a chocolate or vanilla pie, 1/3 cup of raspberry jam in a chocolate pie, 1/3 cup of marshmallow creme in a butterscotch pie….got it?
- Toppings: finally, top the pie with whipped cream and finely chopped chocolate, berries or crushed candy and you’ve got yourself an amazing pudding pie.
- Homemade Pudding: just to give you a starting point, here are two of my go-to recipes for homemade vanilla or chocolate pudding in case you don’t care to use the boxed pudding.
