Peanut Butter Pie


About 12 years ago I started to make a peanut butter pie that was so simple and quick it became a favorite not only of the kids, but of my husband and dinner guests as well. My friends in the neighborhood were given the recipe after raving about it and watching their children gladly gobble it up. When we moved to northern Minnesota in 2000 I was able to share it with a couple of my new neighbors who also made it regularly. It seems a quick peanut butter pie is something any age can love.

With that in mind I give you a new version. This one is similar to my original version and I hope you love it as much as we have.

Peanut Butter Pie

1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, soft
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
6 T milk
2 c whipped cream
1 graham cracker crust (9in)
1/4 cup chopped peanuts or chocolate curls
