Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup sugar

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings

  • 1 cup monster cookies, crumbled
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture, ensuring the filling remains light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the crumbled monster cookies, chocolate chips, and M&M’s evenly over the top to create a decorative and flavorful topping.
  5. Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly and develop a creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the pie and serve. Enjoy the rich and crunchy combination of flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
  • You can substitute Monster Cookies with your favorite cookie for alternate flavors and textures.
  • If desired, add a pinch of salt to the crust mixture to balance sweetness.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier slicing.
