Today is my wonderful husband’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jack! Last year I made Jack’s favorite dessert: Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie; but this year he said I could try a new recipe I found. As a kid I remember going to potlucks at our church and there was my favorite dessert of all time: Jack’s Peanut Butter Pie. Jack was our pastor and he made this dessert for every potluck. It was so thick and rich and delicious! I have been trying to find the recipe for years so I can recreate it and last week while on Pinterest I came across a recipe that was similar enough that I could tweak and try it. The original recipe called for a chocolate crust and creamy peanut butter and I knew that Jack’s pie had graham cracker crust and chunky peanut butter.
Ingredients:
1 Pre-Made Graham Cracker Crust
1 Cup Chunky Peanut Butter
1 package (8 Ounce) Softened Cream Cheese
1-1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1 package (8 Ounce) Whipped Cream, Thawed
Directions:
In a mixer add the peanut butter and the cream cheese, beat until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Lastly add in the whipped cream and beat the mixture until smooth.
Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and chill for at least an hour before serving.
The pie turned out better than imagine and it was just like Jack’s pie! I am so happy that I finally have the recipe to make this childhood favorite any time I want! Oh and Jack loved the new pie too!
