I used a store-bought Oreo pie crust and Cool Whip instead of the whipping cream, subbed fat-free cream cheese and reduced-fat peanut butter. Very quick, a little healthier, and tastes just as great!

The first day we found this VERY sweet, I could only have a couple bites. But after letting it sit in the fridge overnight it was amazing the next day! The flavors combined very nicely.

Rich and delicious - a marriage of cream cheese and peanut butter flavors.

I made two of these for father's day -- one for my dad and one for us : ) The only change I made was to use 1/3 less fat cream cheese. This may be the best peanut butter pie ever. Another reviewer said she didn't like that the peanut butter was the predominant flavor . . . that's what I loved! It is a peanut butter pie, after all. If I wanted a cheesecake, I would have made a peanut butter cheesecake. This was very, very rich. A small slice is all you can eat at once, but that means there's lots left over for later! My dad called and said he loved it too! Thanks!

AWESOME! I made this as a frozen desert and it was so good! I used "Cookie Dough for Ice Cream (Eggless)" from this site as the crust and used toffuti cream cheese and non-dairy whipping cream to keep it non-dairy. I used powdered sugar instead of regular sugar. I added some cookie dough and chocolate chips to the batter and the top of the pie and drizzled the top with chocolate drizzle. I froze it for 12 hours and served it straight from the freezer! Really good!

I was very very excited to surprise my husband with this. He likes sweets and loves when peanut butter is involved. Well, It was WAAYYY to rich. Very dense. I really wished the cream cheese came accross a little bit more. It seems as though the peanut butter dominated and the other flavors dont stand a chance. In reading other reviews I decided against using this recipe for making the crust and used a store bought one. If you dont have shortening while melting choc. chips chances are it will be lumpy and/ or burnt and crispy. I froze 2 peanut butter cups and chopped. I mean look at the picture, it presents BEAUTIFULLY and the idea is divine, but I ended up with a husband who didnt like it, a mother in law who was trying to tell me the good things about it and me who finally ate it and was getting an upset stomach myself. Im not giving up on this one.. Next time I will use 4 more ounces of cream cheese and maybe 1/2 cup less of peanut butter. Im torn on this one. EDIT: This tasted much better on the next day.

I had a couple problems with the execution of this recipe. I could not get the chocolate chips melted to pouring consistency and added milk to thin it and it gobbed up ( I know this was most likely user error). Also the crust was hard as a rock to try and cut. The filling was very good though!

This turned out great and was SO easy. I couldn't believe how good it was and I didn't even have to cook it! I used the Reeses Pcs on top like some others and skipped the chocolate. I'll use both next time. Thanks.

I have been making a similar pie for years, but I lost the recipe. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe. I do have to say that I adapted this for a diabetic using dream whip and splenda. Still very good

Cheesecake Factory worthy!! We did crush Reeses peanut butter cups and spread on the bottom of a chocolate cookie premade crust w/ Mrs. Richarson's hot fudge ... and covered w/ whipped cream, drizzled hot fudge and Reese's crumbles.

Absolutely LOVE this recipe. I make 2 or more pies every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has sort of become a tradition around here. I don't use the chocolate crust or topping though. It's definitely a hit here!

Very rich! (serves more than what the recipe said...we had 9 adults & there was still 1/2 leftover) I added peanut butter cups on top of the crust & on top of the pie. I'm not a huge fan of cheesecakes, but it went over very well...I added a bit more whip cream to lighten it up a bit.

Fabulous.Used 16oz. cream cheese, 2 cups each sugar and peanut butter and two cups whipping cream (mostly because i didn't want any ingredients left over). topped with leftover cookie crumbs and chopped peanut butter cups. It pretty much filled my 10 inch springform to the top. Since there are just the two of us at home now, I gave about half away. this is a keeper.
