This pie is so good, you will wonder where it has been your whole life. It only needs 10 minutes baking time for the crust, so it makes a great summer dessert. And it has a secret ingredients-cinnamon! It really makes a great difference, but leave it out
Crust:
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
3/4 c. mini-chocolate chips
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all crust ingredients in a medium bowl; stir until moistened. Press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 10 minutes; remove from oven; set aside to cool.
Filling:
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whip cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture; fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour filling into the baked crust. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until set, before serving.
Serve.
8-10 servings.
Keep pie refrigerated.
