Here is a foolproof recipe to make any graham cracker crust in the oven or the air fryer.

How To Make Peanut Butter Pie In Air Fryer

Step One: Prepare The Crust

You can buy whole graham crackers, or they sell the crumbs in the grocery store now, in the baking aisle.

So, you can either smash the whole graham crackers into pieces or use the pre-crumbled pieces. Mix them with the melted butter, which will form the crust. Once the crumbs and melted butter have been mixed, press them firmly into a greased ramekin. Set the ramekins into the air fryer at 330 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 5-7 minutes, long enough for the crust to get browned. Remove and let cool.

Spoon the topping into the crust, and then place into the refrigerator for about an hour, before serving

Step Two: Prepare The Filling

While the crust cools, prepare the filling. Mix the heavy cream, sugar, peanut butter, and cream cheese in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Mix in the powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.

Step Three: Assemble The Peanut Butter Pie

Spoon the topping into the crust, and then place into the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.

How To Serve Peanut Butter Pie

Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. Top it off with chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or another topping. You can even drizzle some melted peanut butter over the top if desired.

When serving and eating peanut butter pie, keep it chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Peanut butter pie is best served within two days of being made but can be refrigerated for up to five days after baking. If you are not planning on eating it all at once, store individual slices in an airtight container. Enjoy your peanut butter pie with a cold glass of milk.

How To Store Leftovers

When storing a beloved peanut butter pie, remember a few key things. The most important thing is ensuring that the pie is stored correctly to remain fresh and delicious for as long as possible.

Cover your peanut butter pie in saran wrap so it does not dry out. The peanut butter pie will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

What Are The Best Ramekins To Use In Air Fryer

Ramekins are a great option for air fryers. They allow you to make small food portions without using a large pan. This makes cooking individual servings or items like chicken wings and fries easier with minimal mess and effort.

When shopping for ramekins, look for heat-resistant ones with a non-stick coating. This will make removing food from the ramekin easier and keep it from sticking to the sides. Finding an oven-safe is essential, as you may also want to use your air fryer for baking.

The size of your ramekins should be based on the size of your air fryer. If you have a small air fryer, look for ramekins no bigger than 4 inches in diameter. Larger air fryers can accommodate larger ramekins up to 8 inches in diameter.
