For Peanut Butter Filling
- In a large mixing bowl - whip cream cheese until light and creamy.
- Beat in sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract & salt until smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture.
- Pour/spoon into pie crust. Smooth top out with spatula or back of spoon.
- Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Serve plain or sprinkle some crushed pretzels, peanut butter cups or chocolate shavings on top of each slice. Chocolate syrup is nice too. Enjoy!
Notes
