Category: Pies - Frozen

1 2/3 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 8 1/2 cookie sheets)
7 tbsp sugar, divided
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
1 1/4 cups milk
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 tbsp finely chopped salted, dry-roasted peanuts
1/4 cup shaved milk chocolate (about 1 oz)

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar, and egg whites; toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Prick crust with a fork before baking. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack.

Combine milk and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly; transfer mixture to a bowl. Add peanut butter and vanilla, stirring with a whisk until combined. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

Place cream cheese in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add milk mixture, beating on low speed until combined. Fold in whipped topping; pour mixture into prepared piecrust. Freeze, uncovered, 8 hours or overnight or until hard. Sprinkle with peanuts and shaved chocolate. Transfer pie to refrigerator 30 minutes before slicing.
