frozen peanut butter pie
This was just way too easy to make, and it was so good. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this treat. It tastes like peanut butter ice cream. It is so amazing. Your whole family will love you. Great for a summer evening. If you do not want to go the peanut butter cup route, use chopped nuts or Reese's pieces; so many options. Next time, I will try chocolate chip cookie dough.

How To Make frozen peanut butter pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9" springform pan or a deep dish pie plate with butter. For the crust, melt butter. Mix with brownie mix and egg.
-
Step 2Make sure all ingredients are incorporated.
-
Step 3Pour into the prepared pan.
-
Step 4Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. It will be still wet.
-
Step 5Let cool for about 20 minutes, until just cool enough to touch.
-
Step 6With buttered fingertips, press the brownie to make a rim in the pan. At this point, it should look like a pie crust, and let it cool completely.
-
Step 7For the filling, cream together the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and whipped topping. The mixture will be very thick.
-
Step 8With a spatula, fill the crust with the peanut butter filling.
-
Step 9Take the peanut butter cups and chop them into little pieces. Freezing them first makes it much easier to chop.
-
Step 10Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups on top of the filling. Heat hot fudge sundae topping in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then drizzle over the top of the peanut butter pieces. If using chocolate syrup, drizzle over the pie. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the pie and freeze for about 3 hours.
