Peanut Butter Pie

Here's the recipe for one of my favorite desserts: Peanut Butter Pie. This is a recipe that my great grandma used that my dad loved, so we always have it on Father's Day and his birthday. It is such a rich pie, and so delicious!

{PB Pie using Oreo crust}


Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (can do up to 1 cup)
1/2 cup milk
8 oz cool whip
Chocolate chips (mini or regular)
Graham pie crust (can do chocolate or Oreo, depending on your preference)

Directions:
Whip cream cheese til cream. Beat in sugar, then peanut butter. Slowly add milk. Fold in cool whip. Pour into 8" pie crust (if you get graham crust, look for Keebler's "2 Extra Slices" pie crust- all of the filling fits in perfectly,  and you get a little more!). Top with chocolate chips (I always throw a few into the filling mixture before putting it into the crust). Refrigerate several hours or overnight (the hardest part of this recipe!).
