Peanut Butter Pie

To celebrate Ryan's birthday, I made him one of his favorite desserts Peanut Butter Pie. I only make this pie for parties because otherwise I will devour the whole thing! This pie is smooth, salty, chocolaty, and very addicting.


Peanut Butter Pie

1 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1 chocolate graham cracker crust, store-bought

Directions:
Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl mix the cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioners' sugar together until blended, then fold in the whip cream. Scoop into crust and chill for an hour or more.

Using a double boiler (a pot with a 1/2 inch of boiling water, then a larger glass bowl on top of the pot), place chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of cream into glass bowl. Stir until chocolate and cream are combined, then pour over peanut butter filling.

Chill pie for another two hours or more, then serve!

Enjoy,
Jamie
