This Peanut Butter Pie is light and fluffy and full of peanut butter goodness. Crushed peanut butter cups on top are the perfect topping!
I originally made this peanut butter pie for a pie competition at church. I didn’t win but my dish came home empty so I call that a winner.
Because I can’t have peanut butter without chocolate, the crust for this pie is make out of chocolate cookies.
The filling is a combination of peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped cream and makes a nice light and fluffy filling. And it is so easy to make. You just need to plan enough time for it to chill in the refrigerator.
Top your pie with extra whipped cream and some chopped peanut butter cups for an extra peanut butter punch and a beautiful presentation.
The next time you get a craving for peanut butter and chocolate give this a try!
