This recipe comes from the Disney Cruise Line. It's rich and decadent, and oh-so-delicious. (The cooking time listed is actually the time for refrigerating the pie.)

Ingredients

• PIE FILLING

• 1 1⁄2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 8  ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 2  tablespoons butter, melted and cooled until lukewarm

• 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
• 4  ounces  semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

1. For the pie filling: With an electric mixer, blend the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted butter to peanut butter mixture, then fold in whipped cream. Pour into the baked pie shell and refrigerate for one hour before serving. If desired, glaze with ganache.
