Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  4. Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Before serving, garnish the pie with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
