Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 2 cups (230g) crushed peanut butter cookies (nutter butters)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:

  • 2 cups (475ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1¼ cups (325g) peanut butter
  • 1 (8oz) (226g) package cream cheese, very soft
  • 1 cup (120g) confectioners sugar

Instructions

CRUST:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Process the cookies until fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter. Press mixture into a 9" deep dish pie plate. Can use a measuring cup to help make a smooth even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before filling.

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer whip heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl mix the peanut butter, cream cheese, and confectioners sugar at medium to high speed until well combined. Add the whipped cream and mix at high speed just until combined and smooth. Pour into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set the filling.

Notes

  1. FREEZER FRIENDLY: Place pie in the freezer for 3 hours. Then wrap in plastic wrap then in heavy-duty foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
