Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
2 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 1/4 cups creamy or chunky peanut butter
1cup powdered sugar
1cup (about 15) bite-size chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, chopped
1 chocolate cookie crumb pie crust
6 chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, halved
In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of the cream, the peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups cream and the remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold peanut butter mixture into whipped cream. Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Top with the halved peanut butter cups. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours before serving
