So, I made a down right delicious peanut butter pumpkin pie!I used the Jif Whips Pumpkin Pie Spice flavored peanut butter. It’s what makes this pie. I went to Target to grab mine, but I’m seeing it in local stores now. You must get it for this pie.

I should probably also let you know what my husband has informed me how it tastes best. Get ready for this. The magic to this pie..

Are you ready for this? It’s a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top.

Yep, you’re welcome. I’m here with all the secret tips and tricks.

You really should give this recipe a try, especially if you’re looking for a little twist on the plain ol’ pumpkin pie. The holidays are here and pie baking is in full swing. Well, at least at my house. Get crazy with it. Sling some peanut butter in your pumpkin pie!

Ingredients

Pie

• 1 pkg. pre-made unbaked pie crust or home made
• 1 cup light brown sugar , packed
• 1 tsp . pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp . ground clove
• 1/4 tsp . ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp . ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp . ground cinnamon
• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup Jif Whips Pumpkin Pie Spice flavored Peanut Butter
• 2 eggs , lightly beaten
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 T . maple syrup
• 1 beaten egg

Whipped Cream

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Pie

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, add in the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, clove, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Whisk until the spices are incorporated and there are no lumps.
3. Add in the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, eggs, heavy cream, and maple syrup. Mix on low with a hand mixer until combined.
4. Roll out pie dough and line an 8 or 9 inch pie plate with dough. Trim edges and crimp them.
5. Pour pumpkin mixture into the pie crust.
6. Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Without opening oven, reduce oven to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30 - 40 minutes. To make sure the pie is done, give it a wiggle. If it slightly jiggles in JUST the middle like jello, then it's done. If it jiggles all over, it needs to bake longer. Turn off the heat and crack the oven door slightly. Let it cool in the oven
7. Once completely cooled, store in the refrigerator.

Whipped Cream

1. In a large bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Whip on medium until it begins to thicken. Turn the mixer on high and beat until the cream reaches soft peaks.
2. Sift in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until it reaches a firm consistency.
3. Store in the fridge.

Recipe Notes

*Do not over-bake the pie. It will cause the pie to crack.
