Peanut Butter Pie

Cookbook Category: Pies

Here's a frozen peanut butter pie that's a staple of late-night restaurant menus. This recipe is from Sidney Carlisle's article on frozen pies.

1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy style peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 9-inch graham cracker or chocolate cookie crumb crust

Combine the cream cheese and peanut butter in the large bowl of a mixer. Beat together until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar. Add the vanilla. Use a spatula to fold in the whipped cream until well blended. Spoon the filling into the crust.

Freeze at least 4 hours. Remove the pie from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving. Return any leftover pie to the freezer.
