Preparation

Step 1

1. For the pie crust: Preheat oven to 350F. In a food processor, process all of the pie crust ingredients until it forms a dough ball. Press into a greased pie dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow the crust to cool before filling.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until incorporated.
3. Spoon mixture into the prepared pie crust. Top with mini Reese’s if desired. Chill for 4 hours before serving.
