Peanut Butter Pie




I usually just buy a premade graham cracker or cookie crust..'just cause I'm lazy.. We also melt some chocolate to drizzle on top, or hot fudge. We also crumble Reese's cups all over the top...nummy.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS
Combine 1 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter or margarine; press into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Whip the cream, and fold into the peanut butter mixture.
Gently spoon filing into crust. Garnish pie with chocolate or cookie crumbs if desired. Refrigerate.

  2. We make one that is very similar. I have never made the crust myself though. I'm too lazy and the store bought ones are too good!
