Why peanut butter pie? Well. I had no idea what to get my dad for Fathers Day so I started thinking about some of my child hood memories of him.
I remember how he used to always eat Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies. Boy that’s a mouth full.
He would say the little slogan every time he took one from the pack.
My dad would always (probably still does) eat a spoon of peanut butter right out of the jar.. I remember smelling it on him when he would tuck us in at night and give a goodnight kiss on the cheek.
Since those days, he has developed diabetes but has it under control. He knows when and how much sugar he can have. A peace of pie is a possible treat for him. Everyone else enjoyed a piece after we had hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill.
This pie did not disappoint and I had to share the recipe with my Sisters. Now I will share it with you. It is easy and delicious. Reminded me of peanut butter cheese cake.
Enjoy.
PEANUT BUTTER PIE.
1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust. (or make your own.)
8 oz cream cheese. (softened)
1 cup creamy peanut butter.
8 oz cool whip.
3/4 cup powder sugar.
Mix cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
Add powder sugar a little at a time until mixed well.
Fold in cool whip until until blended.
Pour into pic crust and refrigerate for 5 hours or over night before serving.
I topped mine with crushed peanut butter cups, shaved chocolate and melted peanut butter drizzle. (All optional).
Oreo cookie crust is another option to this delicious dessert.
