Description

This Peanut Butter Chocolate Instant Pudding Pie is a luscious no-bake dessert combining rich chocolate pudding with creamy peanut butter and a crunchy graham cracker crust. Easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, it features layers of smooth instant chocolate pudding and a fluffy peanut butter mousse topped with whipped cream, garnished with chocolate shavings and chopped peanuts for extra texture and flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, divided

Garnish (optional)

  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • Chopped peanuts


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  2. Assemble Pudding Layer: Pour the thickened chocolate pudding into the graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the surface evenly with a spatula.
  3. Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Fold half of the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture gently until it becomes fluffy and well incorporated.
  5. Layer Peanut Butter Mixture: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chocolate pudding layer in the pie crust.
  6. Add Whipped Topping: Top the peanut butter layer with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
  7. Garnish and Chill: Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings and chopped peanuts on top for added texture and flavor. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a chocolate cookie crust for a richer flavor instead of graham cracker crust.
  • For a lighter version, substitute with low-fat whipped topping and reduced-fat peanut butter.
  • The pie can be made a day ahead and should be stored covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
