Ingredients:
Pastry:
1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 tablespoons unsalted, melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
(or your favorite pre-baked pie crust)
Filling:
1-1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1 8-ounce package softened cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
Glaze:
1/2 cup half & half or cream
4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions:
Can be made one day ahead. Mix all ingredients for pastry and press firmly in 10" pie pan. Freeze while preparing filling.
Use electric mixer to beat peanut butter, cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Using clean dry beaters, beat whipping cream with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla till soft peaks form. Stir 1/2 of cream mixture into peanut butter mixture. Fold well, then fold in the remaining cream mixture. Filling will be thick, so spread carefully into prepared crust and refrigerate till firm.
Bring cream to a boil, reduce heat and stir in chocolate till smooth and melted. Cool slightly and pour over filling, tilting pie pan for even distribution. Coat top of pie completely and refrigerate for 1 hour. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls and enjoy!
