Me Oh My! No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by Karri Wells in Eats & Drinks

Each year at Christmas my grandma Helga treats us to her Peanut Butter Pie.  As  kids, my sister and I would look forward to this treat for months, because for some reason Christmas was the only time she would make it.

Yesterday, @chrisblake, a Los Angeles based musician whom I follow on Twitter started a conversation about pie.  I mentioned my grandma’s peanut butter pie, yada yada, @organprinter requested it, so here it is for the world to enjoy.

Grandma Helga’s Peanut Butter Pie
1 baked pie shell
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 packet french vanilla pudding
Cool Whip

Mix the powdered sugar and peanut butter and press into bottom of prepared pie shell.   Prepare the vanilla pudding according to instructions, and pour in pie shell on top of peanut butter/powdered sugar mixture.  Refrigerate until pudding sets.  Top with Cool Whip before serving.

*Note* this is straight from my grandma who has been making it for years,  my apologies that the recipe isn’t very concise.

There are a ton of similar recipes on the interwebs for a similar pie, most of which call for cream cheese, a graham cracker crust and Oreos.  Don’t waste your time, this one is better, because it’s from Helga. 

Enjoy!
