A Southern Grace: Maple Peanut Butter Pie

Maple Peanut Butter Pie

Yum

Serves 8
Ingredients:
Crust:

  • 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 T granulated sugar
  • 6 T butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt
Filling:
  • 1 cup (240 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (130 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons maple flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping
  • Crushed nuts and flaky salt, to garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make the crust, combine all ingredients and mix until everything is moistened and well combined.
Press into a greased 9-inch pie plate, evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
Bake for 8 minutes, or until the crumbs start to brown.
Let cool completely.
To make the filling, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple flavoring, and vanilla extract together until smooth. It will be stiff and look like cookie dough.
Use a spatula to fold half of the tub of whipped topping into the mixture.
Repeat with the remaining half and continue folding until the filling is free of streaks.
Scrape the filling onto the baked and cooled crust and smooth the top.
Garnish with crushed nuts and/or flaky salt, if desired.
