Category: Pies - Cream and Custard

Crust
1 cup vanilla wafer cookie crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Filling
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups whipping cream, chilled
1 tbsp vanilla

Glaze
1/2 cup whipping cream
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

Crust: Mix ingredients in a 9 inch pie plate. Press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of pan. Freeze while preparing filling.

Filling: Cream peanut butter, cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and melted butter in a large bowl. Beat cream with remaining sugar and vanilla in a bowl until peaks form. Stir 1/4 of cream into peanut butter mixture, then fold in remaining cream (mixture will be thick). Spoon into crust. Refrigerate until firm.

Glaze: Bring cream to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Cool glaze slightly; pour over filling. Tilt pan, coating top completely. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
