Here's my wife Susan's recipie for peanut butter pie that took first (perfect 180) in dessert at Libertyville, IL.

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 8oz brick cream cheese
2 tsp vanilla (the real stuff please)
1 pint heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
12 peanut butter cups, chopped
1 oreo cookie crust
Extra whipped cream to serve with

Cream the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Add the cream cheese and mix well.
Add the vanilla to the cream and whip to stiff peaks.
Fold in the whipped cream in to the peanut butter mixture in three additions.
Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups, just enough to combine.
Spoon mixture into the Oreo crust.
Cool until ready to serve. Top each slice with more whipped cream and a mini peanut butter cup.

Yep - this sure is a winner. Gotta ask, how pronounced is the cream cheese flavor. My wife really despises cream cheese. I'm wondering if I make this without her knowledge if she'd detect it.

Joe,

I don't think it's too bad. It is a little bit like a cheese cake but there is so much sugar and peanut butter in there that I think she would probably go for it.
