  • Yield: 1 - 9 in. Pie
  • Category: Desserts and Sweets, Recipe

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 8 oz Chocolate wafers
  • 6 tbsp. Butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 c Smooth peanut butter (I prefer non-stir natural types for this)
  • 8 oz Cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 c Confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tbsp. Confectioners' sugar
  • 1 c Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • Toppings, such as cookie crumbs, chopped peanuts, chopped salted pretzels, melted chocolate and melted peanut butter

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large zipper bag, crush wafer cookies to small-medium crumbs. Add melted butter, stir. Press into 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, 8-10 mins. Cool.

Prepare the filling:

  1. In a bowl with a hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and 3/4 c confectioners' sugar and salt until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Scrape down bowl as needed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until peaks begin to form. Add in the 2T confectioners' sugar until cream is firmer with stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Spoon filling into the crust, and smooth top. Freeze 2-3 hours then top with desired toppings.
  4. Pie can be kept in freezer or refrigerator. If serving the same day, filling does not harden firmly, so freezer is recommended.
