This is my favorite dessert. One I make well. I lose the recipe ALL THE TIME so I figured if I posted it on my blog, I'll always have it. Until Blogger gets bought out and I lose it or something.
Crust:
But Oreo cookie crust. But this weekend the store was out, so to make your own:
1 1/4 C chocolate cookie crumbs (20 cookies)
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C butter or margarine, melted
Filling:
1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese softened
1 C peanut butter (creamy is best)
1 C sugar
1 Tbsp butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 C heavy whipping cream (or cheat by using Cool Whip, but I like to whip my own cream)
Directions:
Crust
Combine crust ingredients, Press into a pie plate. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. let cool
Filling
Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream (I have found that "folding" makes it grainy so I stir it fast and well). Spoon into crust and garnish with cookie crumbs, chocolate, fudge, whatever. Chill.
I freeze it because it holds up better that way. Fridge makes it softer to eat, but I find it's too soft.
Enjoy. I have never heard one person say this was bad.
