Here is our yummy Peanut Butter Pie that we made on Talk of Alabama this morning! If you want a REALLY rich pie, get some Ashley Mac's brownies to make an easy (and delicious!) crust with. Just crumble the brownies and mash them into your pie plate...no baking needed!

Of course, if you don't have time to whip this up yourself, you can always call us to make it for you. We have a 9-inch and a 7-inch and sell them by the slice! Check out our dessert menu for prices.

 Peanut Butter Pie

Graham Cracker Crust:

1 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts (unsalted)
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Combine peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl and pat down into pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 10 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle crust with chocolate chips. After a few minutes they will begin to melt and you can spread chocolate out. 

Peanut Butter Filling:

1 1/2 cups cream
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Using the wire whisk on mixer, whip cream until soft peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to another large bowl.

Using the same mixer beat together cream cheese and peanut butter together. Slowly add milk until creamy. Add powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture until well mixed. Pour batter into pie pan. Put in freezer. Let thaw on counter for 30 minutes before serving.
