PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl (or 4 cup liquid measuring cup) and using an electric hand mixer whip heavy cream until very stiff peaks form.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, using the same beaters and mixer (no need to clean) set on low speed, mix peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla if using until combined.
• Increase speed to high and whip until fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Add whipped cream to peanut butter mixture and fold until evenly combined**.
• Pour mixture into pie crust and spread into an even layer.
• Freeze 1 hour or refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Decorate if desired (with topping ideas listed below) and slice.

OLD-FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• In a bowl, combine cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Pat the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a buttered 9-inch pie plate. I use the flat bottom of a small measuring cup to press the crumbs in an even layer.
• Bake the shell in the 400° F oven for 10 minutes, transfer it to a rack, and let cool completely.
• Once the crust is completely cool, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the peanut butter and cream cheese on medium speed until combined. Add confectioners' sugar, beat to combine. Add cream; mix on low speed until combined. Increase mixer to high speed; beat just until the mixture thickens (be careful not to overbeat).
• Spread the filling in the pie crust. Cover and refrigerate until firm; at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Garnish with chopped peanuts and whipped cream just before serving.
