Ingredients For Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut Butter – I like creamy peanut butter (like Jif) but you can use crunchy as well. Avoid using ‘natural’ peanut butter, as it doesn’t blend as smoothly.

Cream Cheese – Use a block of room-temperature cream cheese. Full fat is best for richness and texture, but low fat can be used for a lighter version.

Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is folded in for a fluffy texture. Replace it with 2 cups of prepared whipped topping (like cook whip).

Powdered Sugar – Adds sweetness and mixes in smoothly.

Crust – Oreo cookies, including the filling, are pulsed into crumbs for the crust. You can substitute with a store-bought graham crust or Nutter Butters.
