Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

Oh yes I did.

This creamy, delicious dessert for PB enthusiasts requires only:

1) 6 ingredients
2) 10 minutes of prep work
3) Approx. 2 hours chilling time
4) A desire to have a melt in your mouth, sinfully yummy dessert.

Did you know that there are hundreds of websites devoted to Peanut Butter addicts? If you’re reading this with your finger stuck in a jar, saying “I’n NOD addicded due deanud dudduh!” – it may be best that you move along. This dish is a VERY high enabler. Enjoy!

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ (icing) sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup milk (do NOT use skim; 2% or 3.25% work well)
1 (16 ounce) tub whipped topping, thawed in refrigerator
2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts

Beat together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix in peanut butter and milk, beating until smooth. Fold in whipped topping by hand.

Spoon into two 9 inch graham cracker pie shells; cover, and freeze until firm. Top with your choice of chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, coarsely chopped milk chocolate, sliced bananas, etc. Makes 2 pies.

      Haha, well, it’s not TOO bad – one serving has just 2 tbsps of peanut butter (where most of the fat comes from in this dessert).

    This sounds delicious and is so easy to make; my BF could live on peanut butter alone so he’d LOVE this and perhaps love me a bit more for making it for him. LOL
