Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Toppings

  • 2 cups monster cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare crust: Place the prepared pie crust into a pie dish, ensuring it is evenly spread and ready to hold the filling.
  3. Mix filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to maintain its light and fluffy texture.
  5. Fill the crust: Spread the peanut butter cheesecake mixture evenly over the pie crust in the dish.
  6. Add toppings: Sprinkle the crushed monster cookies, chocolate chips, and mini M&Ms evenly over the top of the filling for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to ensure it slices well and the flavors meld.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
  • If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • Allow the pie to chill in the refrigerator after cooling for at least 1 hour for firmer texture.
  • Monster cookies typically contain oats, peanut butter, spices, and chocolate; ensure none are allergic to these ingredients before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
