DELISCIOSO!!! I had a group for lunch today and served your Peanut Butter Pie - long story short, it was a big hit! Goofy me forgot that the heavy cream needed to be whipped before folding it in. I got in a hurry and dumped all of the ingredients for the filling into the mixing bowl. I discovered my mistake too late and decided to beat those ingredients, cross my fingers, and see how it came out. Again, I'll say delicious! Thanks for the recipe!!

Instead of the traditional pecan or pumpkin pie I opted to make this at Christmas time. My two boys ages 12 and 13 literally fought over the last piece. It is insanely good and I will make it every year for the holidays.

Yum! Super rich and the best peanut butter pie! Used lowfat cream cheese and natural peanut butter. Loved that this recipe used whipping cream rather than cool whip. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

In the interest of full disclosure I must admit that there is nothing about a peanut butter pie that I find even tempting. That said, there are those in my circle that I knew would go nuts at the idea and I was right. The little taste I took was good and the rest of the crew left nothing but crumbs. I topped it with chopped up reeses PB cups which people seemed to enjoy.
