Description
A no-bake dessert that combines the nostalgic flavors of peanut butter and jelly in a creamy, pie form with a crunchy graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry or grape jelly
- Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
- Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Heat the jelly in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds to make it easier to spread. Gently spoon the jelly over the peanut butter layer and swirl it with a knife or spatula to create a marble effect.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Before serving, top with chopped peanuts for extra crunch, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to use any flavor of jelly or jam you prefer, such as grape, raspberry, or blueberry.
- This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator for easy preparation.
- For a smoother peanut butter filling, you can add a tablespoon of milk or more heavy cream if needed.
