The following recipe is for a chocolate banana peanut butter pudding pie, topped with raspberries. The peanut butter is in the crust.
Cook Time
Ingredients For the Crust
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/3 cup of either creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 1 - 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
Graham Cracker Crust
- If you are using graham crackers rather than the prepackaged crumbs you will need twelve whole crackers. These can be either ground up in a food processor or put into a plastic bag and rolled with a rolling pin.
- You may wish to use a store bought graham cracker crust and omit the peanut butter flavor.
- To make a plain graham cracker crust use butter in place of the peanut butter.
Instructions For the Pie Crust
- Melt 1/3 cup of peanut butter in the microwave or on top of the stove until it is a runny consistency. Preheat over to 350°F.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs along with 1/4 cup of sugar, and then add in the peanut butter. Blend until mixture is that of a coarse meal.
- Butter a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Press the pie crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Pop in the oven for ten minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Ingredients for Pie Filling
- 4 cups of milk
- 1 box of instant chocolate pudding
