Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Crumbs

1. In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar and peanut butter using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Pie Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant pudding mixes (vanilla and butterscotch) for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
2. Add ½ cup of creamy peanut butter to the pudding mixture, and whisk until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Sprinkle about half of the peanut butter crumbs evenly over the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
2. Pour the creamy peanut butter filling over the crumbs and spread it evenly.
3. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbs on top of the filling.

Step 4: Whipped Topping

1. In a clean bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the pie.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
2. Slice and enjoy! This pie pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.
