Topped with crunchy monster cookies, chocolate chips, and colorful mini M&Ms, it offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pie Base

  • 1 pie crust

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Toppings

  • 2 cups monster cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the cheesecake filling evenly.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the shape and ensuring there are no air pockets.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth.
  4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to keep the filling light and airy without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Assemble Pie: Spread the peanut butter cheesecake filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed monster cookies, chocolate chips, and mini M&Ms evenly over the top of the filling.
  7. Bake the Pie: Bake the assembled pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure the filling sets properly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor in the filling.
  • Crushing the monster cookies finely will provide a better topping texture and prevent large chunks.
  • Let the pie cool fully at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour for optimal sliceability.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust and monster cookies.
  • You can substitute mini M&Ms with chopped peanuts or Reese’s Pieces for variation.
