FROZEN PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

1/3 cup butter
6 oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce
Chopped peanuts, optional

In heavy sauce over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips. Remove from heat and gently stir in cereal until coated. Press, using the bottom of a glass, into the bottom and up sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Chill 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into prepared crust. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.

To serve, drizzle with fudge sauce over slices of pie and sprinkle with peanuts. Return leftovers to freezer.
