Ingredients

  • 1 chocolate cookie pie crust
  • 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy--I like crunchy myself)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 12 ounces non-dairy whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 (11 3/4 ounce) jar chocolate fudge topping, divided
  • Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons hot fudge topping

Method

  • In a medium bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar.
  • Gently fold in 3 cups of whipped topping.
  • Spoon mixture into pie shell and smooth to edges of the shell.
  • Reserving 2 Tbs. of hot fudge topping, place the remainder of the topping into a microwave safe container and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir.
  • Spread the hotfudge topping over the peanut butter layer.
  • Refrigerate until serving time.
  • Just before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the hor fudge layer, being careful not to mix the layers.
  • Place 2 Tbs. of hot fudge topping (room temperature) in a small baggie and knead for a few seconds. Cut a tiny hole in the corner of the baggie and drizzle over the pie to make it pretty.
