I'm trying to eat a little healthier but we all know I have a sweet tooth. There is this peanut butter pie that my Aunt Lisa makes every year for Christmas. It's my favorite pie and I believe I've asked her about three times for the recipe and I fail to write it down every time. I know I shouldn't of looked for a pie recipe but this one caught my eye and I had to make it. Anyway, here are the ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup whipped topping
- 10 peanut butter cups, divided
- 1 chocolate crumb crust (9 inches)
- Of course you can adjust this to your liking. I added more peanut butter and more Reeses. My husband being the peanut butter and chocolate fiend would kill me if I just added what the recipe called for! Now for the instructions:
Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. It should look something like this:
Now you'll fold in your whipped cream and your Reeses. Make sure to get it mixed thoroughly because my whipped cream sort of took over my bowl. Just keep mixing I promise it will calm down.
Now for the fun part. Put the mixture into a pie crust. This one calls for chocolate but being here on this crappy island doesn't allow that. I just used a regular graham cracker crust. Just use whatever you like! I added some extra Reeses on top. You could also add some chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips! I know it will be hard but you have to put this in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before you dig in!
Here is the finished project.
