I used the recipe twice now, cooking for my beautiful wife to be whom loves peanut butter. The first time I followed the instructions to the 'T', except the pie crust. I trusted some other reviews as well as my taste bud 'instinct' and used pre made Oreo pie crust. The filling did not satisfy our hopes. It left me feeling a robbed and broken man... I just knew this pie had potential of magnificent proportions. So, after some time pondering, I came back to this with my sleeves rolled up and I wasn't leaving with another disappointment. My heart just couldn't take it. All I did for the second time around was switch the vanilla and lemon juice amounts, even adding just a little more vanilla because I kicked the peanut butter up to 1 cup. Again using that magical pre made Oreo Crust, AND IT BECAME ONE OF MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE DESERTS OF ALL TIME!!!! Adding a little more peanut butter made it a little more creamier!!!!!!! A day or two in the freezer and it still isn't losing it's phenomenally smooth texture! It probably wouldn't last past a few days though... EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE KILLS IT!
