Peanut Butter Pie With Chocolate Graham Crust Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the cookies until they're fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the top and stir with a fork to combine. Press into a pie pan and bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave until soft; mix well. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until the mixture resembles a soft dough. Spread mixture into 2 pie crusts.
• In a small bowl, mix the milk with the instant pudding. Pour over the peanut butter mixture in each crust. Chill until firm.
• Top pies with whipped topping when ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine the peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl and pat down into a pie pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to toast slightly. As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the crust bottom with the shaved chocolate and set aside. It should melt in, then set up later.
• Peanut Butter Filling: Using mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, peanut butter, milk and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture and pour it into the pie shell. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours. Two hours before serving place pie in the refrigerator. Shave chocolate over the top just before serving.

Steps:

• Butter or spray with cooking spray the pie dish or baking pan. You can use little tarts pans to make smaller, individual servings. Put the crumbs and cinnamon, chocolate chips or nuts, if using, in a bowl and mix together. Add 5 tablespoons melted butter and stir mixture until the crumbs are evenly moistened with the butter. Transfer the crumbs to the buttered baking pan. Using your fingers, press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and sides of pan. Check to see that the crust isn't too thick where the sides and the edges of the pan meet. Freeze for 30 minutes. Beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar and butter with hand mixer until soft. In a separate bowl, beat together the 1/3 cup powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy cream until smooth and stiff. Combine both mixtures together and pour into frozen graham cracker crust. Freeze overnight.
