Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pie crust
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
Toppings
- 2 cups monster cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pie once assembled.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it evenly into the bottom and sides to form a sturdy base for the filling.
- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Fill Pie Crust: Spread this creamy peanut butter cheesecake mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed monster cookies evenly over the filling, then top with chocolate chips and mini M&Ms to add texture and vibrant color.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before serving to allow the filling to fully set.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- You can use a store-bought or homemade pie crust depending on your preference.
- To avoid overbaking, check the pie around 20 minutes to ensure the filling is just set.
- For extra flavor, consider chilling the pie for an hour before serving.
- This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
