Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Jelly Filling

  • 3 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp kosher salt (or ¼ tsp table salt)
  • ¾ tsp unflavoured gelatin
  • 1 ½ tsp water

Peanut Butter Crumb

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup PB2 powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt (or ¼ tsp table salt)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Peanut Butter Cookie Crust

  • 225 g peanut butter cookies, about 6 large cookies
  • ¼ cup salted peanuts, chopped
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt (or ¼ tsp table salt)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Peanut Butter Cream Filling

  • 1 ½ cups whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Raspberry Jelly Filling: Measure the frozen raspberries then thaw. Purée them in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh to remove seeds. You should get about 1 cup of smooth purée. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine gelatin and water; set aside. Heat the purée in a saucepan over medium-low heat with sugar, cornstarch, and salt, whisking constantly until thickened and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in melted gelatin. Cover with cling film directly on the surface and chill for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight until set.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Crumb: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixer bowl, combine sugars, flour, PB2, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low, then slowly add melted butter until crumbs form. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Cookie Crust: Process peanut butter cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 1 ½ cups). Add chopped peanuts, sugar, and salt; pulse to mix. Add melted butter and pulse to combine. Press crumb mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch glass pie plate covering bottom and sides. Chill until ready to assemble.
  4. Make the Peanut Butter Cream Filling: Whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, then set aside. Using the paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla on low until smooth and lump-free. Gently fold in whipped cream in three batches, mixing just until combined each time to maintain lightness without overbeating.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Start by dropping half of the peanut butter cream filling into the cookie crust in dollops, then add half of the raspberry jelly filling in pockets. Use a knife to swirl the two fillings gently together. Sprinkle an even layer of peanut butter crumbs on top, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat the layering with remaining peanut butter cream filling, jelly filling, and finish with a pile of peanut butter crumbs in the center. Chill the pie for at least 6 to 8 hours to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the jelly filling and the assembled pie adequately to allow proper setting and easy slicing.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • The PB2 powder can be substituted with additional peanut butter powder or omitted for a less intense peanut flavor in the crumb.
  • If peanut allergies are a concern, substitute peanut butter and peanuts with sunflower seed butter and seeds respectively.
  • For best results, prepare components a day ahead to save time and improve flavors.
