Ingredients

  • 2 cups shortbread cookie crumbs like Lorna Doone, around 30 cookies
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup peanut butter I use Skippy Naturals
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • 12 ounces Cool Whip fat-free, regular, or sugar-free

Instructions

  • Start by crushing your shortbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin in a zip-top bag.
  • Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and pour in the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a wet sand-like consistency.
  • Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Ensure it is tightly packed. Place the crust in the refrigerator to firm up.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and no streaks remain, maintaining a light and airy texture.
  • Remove the crust from the fridge and spoon the peanut butter filling into the crust, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.
  • Just before serving, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled pie for an irresistible Twix-like topping.
  • Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy every creamy, crunchy bite!
