Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup cream, beat until stiff (or 8 ounces Cool Whip topping, if that's how you roll)
  • 1 prepared chocolate crust (or a homemade chocolate crust)
  • Hershey's chocolate bar for garnish optional

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream cream cheese and peanut butter together with a hand mixer.
  • Add milk and powdered sugar, beating until combined and fluffy.
  • Fold in half the whipped cream or Cool Whip.
  • Place whipped mixture into prepared pie crust.
  • Top with remaining whipped cream or Cool Whip.
  • For a garnish, use your vegetable peeler and made chocolate curls from the edge of a Hershey's bar.
  • Cover pie, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, cut (and don't thaw first).

Notes

  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the filling to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
  • Don't limit yourself to store-bought crusts – homemade graham cracker or Oreo crusts work brilliantly.
  • Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and preserve its fresh flavor.
  • Allergy Alert: Contains dairy, peanuts, and potential gluten from the crust.
