Ingredients
Pie Crust
1 1/4 cups chocolate wafer
cookie crumbs (20 cookies)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
Filling
1 8-oz. package cream cheese,
softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Topping
Grated dark or milk chocolate,
or crumbled chocolate wafer cookie pieces
Directions
Pie Crust
Preheat oven to 375°
F.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk
or stir with a fork all pie crust ingredients. Gently press
pie crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Place in oven and
bake for 10 minutes. Place on cooling rack until completely
cooled.
Filling
Place cream cheese, peanut
butter, sugar, butter and vanilla in an electric mixer bowl
(or if using an electric handheld mixer, a regular mixing
bowl). Beat with electric or handheld mixer until all
ingredients are creamy and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip
heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream
into peanut butter mixture until fully blended. Gently pour
into cooled pie crust, and spread to the edges of the pie
crust. Top with grated chocolate or cookie crumbs.
Either store in the freezer and
allow to defrost for 20 minutes to 1/2 an hour before
eating, or place in refrigerator for a few hours until pie
becomes firm. You will probably get a firmer pie by storing
it in the freezer. The choice is yours! |
