Main Ingredients
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies finely crushed, about 9 ounces
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips shaved or finely chopped, for garnish
Cooking
Make crust. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and press into a 9 inch pie dish.
Bake. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, then cool completely for about 30 minutes.
Mix. Beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
Whip and fold. Whip the cream with the vanilla to soft peaks and fold it into the peanut butter in two parts.
Chill. Spread into the crust, chill at least 4 hours, and top with the chocolate.
Substitutions: Use graham cracker crumbs for the cookies, or crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
Tips: Chill the bowl for the cream and wipe the knife between slices.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Do not freeze the finished pie.
