- Crust:
- 48 RITZ Crackers, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- Pie Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped, divided*
- Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
- To make the crust, pulse 44 of the RITZ Crackers in a food processor to make about 1 1/2 cups crumbs. In a medium bowl, blend together the crumbs, cocoa, and sugar. Mix in melted butter and peanut butter. Press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, then cool completely on rack.
- To make the filling, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl with mixer until smooth. Stir in the peanuts. Carefully fold a total of 1 1/2 cups whipped cream into the peanut mixture in three additions, until the mixture is a uniform color and no streaks remain.
- Spread the filling into the cooled crust. Top with remaining whipped cream. Coarsely crush remaining 4 crackers and sprinkle over the top. Chill completely, at least 2 hours or overnight. Store covered in refrigerator.
