Ingredients

For the Monster Cookie Crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup M&Ms

For the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For Topping:

  • 1/2 cup M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Drizzle of melted chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Monster Cookie Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and mix. Fold in mini chocolate chips and M&Ms. Press the mixture into the pie dish and bake for 15-18 minutes. Let the crust cool completely.
  • Make the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Gently fold in whipped cream until light and fluffy.
  • Assemble the Pie: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Top with extra M&Ms, mini chocolate chips, and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to set the filling.
  • Serve: Slice and enjoy the delicious pie!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour. Ensure your M&Ms and chocolate chips are also gluten-free.
  • To make this nut-free, swap out peanut butter for almond or sunflower butter.
  • For a no-bake option, use crushed graham crackers or Oreos for the crust.
