# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
02 -
In the bowl of a food processor, process the crackers and sugar until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until moistened. Use the bottom of a measuring cup, glass, or ramekin to press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until fragrant, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and peanut butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment until thick and light. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
05 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and freeze for 3 hours or chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
06 -
Place melted peanut butter and melted chocolate into separate piping or resealable bags. Snip a small corner of each bag and drizzle over the pie. Garnish with mini Reese's cups and peanut butter chips.
07 -
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
