How to Make Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie

  1. **Make the crust:** In a 9-inch round pie pan, combine all crust ingredients. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  2. **Freeze the crust:** Freeze the pie crust for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  3. **Make the peanut butter filling:** In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
  4. **Whip the cream:** In a separate medium bowl, using clean, dry beaters, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. **Combine fillings:** Gently fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  6. **Assemble the pie:** Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled pie crust.
  7. **Chill the pie:** Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. **Make the chocolate glaze:** In a small heavy saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
  9. **Melt the chocolate:** Reduce heat to low, add 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, and stir until melted and smooth.
  10. **Cool and glaze:** Let the glaze cool slightly, then pour it over the chilled pie, tilting the pan to coat the top evenly.
  11. **Final chill:** Refrigerate the pie for at least another hour before serving to allow the glaze to set.
