Homemade Peanut Butter Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 14 full-size chocolate-flavored digestive biscuits (196 grams).
02 - 99 grams of melted unsalted butter (7 tablespoons).
03 - 1 tablespoon of brown sugar with a light texture.
04 - 227 grams of cream cheese at room temperature (8 ounces).
05 - Whipping cream, 1 cup of it (240 grams).
06 - About 94 grams of powdered sugar, split: 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons.
07 - One teaspoon of vanilla flavoring.
08 - 270 grams of smooth, classic peanut butter (1 cup).
09 - Warm chocolate for drizzling over the pie.
10 - Peanut butter chips to garnish on top.
11 - Mini peanut butter cups (chocolates) to use as decorations.
12 - Melted peanut butter to drizzle on the surface.

# Instructions:

01 - Start by turning on your oven and setting it at 163°C (325°F).
02 - Take a food processor and blend the digestive biscuits with the sugar until the texture becomes finely ground. Gradually blend in the butter until the mix is moist. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly using the bottom of a cup or a ramekin.
03 - Place the crust in the oven and let it bake for 10 to 12 minutes until you smell a toasty aroma. Let it cool down entirely on a wire rack.
04 - Grab a big mixing bowl and beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar together for around 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for this.
05 - In another bowl, use your mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the heavy cream until it becomes thick and airy. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract, whipping again until firm peaks form.
06 - Carefully combine the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture by folding. Pour this combined filling over the prepared crust and pop it into your freezer for 3 hours, or chill it in your fridge for a minimum of 6 hours.
07 - Transfer your warmed chocolate and peanut butter into separate piping or resealable bags. Make a small cut at one corner of each bag, then drizzle both over the top of the pie. Decorate with peanut butter cups and a sprinkle of peanut butter chips.

# Notes:

01 - If chocolate-coated digestive biscuits are hard to find, swap for similar chocolate cookies.
02 - Store this dessert in the fridge for up to 3 days or keep it in the freezer for no more than a month.
