Sandra’s Tips

  • If you are going to use a natural peanut butter make sure to stir it extremely well so it does not separate in the pie
  • If you do not want to whip or use the heavy cream you can use store bought cool whip, but leave out the powdered sugar as the pie will be too sweet
  • Make sure to chill for at least 4 hours before serving
  • I like to make it ahead of time the day before to chill overnight in the fridge
  • If serving without the toppings you can serve it with some whipped cream or cool whip on top or on the side with chocolate shavings
