Peanut Butter Pie

All I can say about this pie is “Holy, yum, Batman!”This is one delicious dessert and I am so excited to share it with you.

If you’re having a hard time deciding between a pie and a cheesecake for the holiday dessert, there is no need. This peanut butter chocolate dessert is both, it is a cheesecake pie with an added bonus of a cookie.

Peanut butter cookie on the bottom, smooth, peanut butter cheesecake in the middle, and chocolate on top. It’s a great dessert for any peanut butter fan.

Cookie crust is easily prepared within 20 minutes and filled with no-bake cheesecake after it’s cooled. The hardest part of this dessert will be waiting for the cookie to cool and then, waiting for the cheesecake to chill.

In general, waiting for a delicious chocolate peanut butter pie is the hardest thing to do.

How to make cookie crust:

Start by preheating the oven to 350 and greasing a pie dish.

Prepare cookie dough according to the recipe.

Spread cookie dough all over the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish by patting it gently. You can even fold some cookie dough onto the rip of the pie dish. Try to spread it evenly throughout.

Pre-bake the cookie crust for 13-15 minutes.

Poke holes with a fork but not all the way through, that will help the cookie settle down. Cool completely before filling.
