Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F.
\nFor the crust:
\nIn the bowl of a food processor, process the crackers until finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until moistened. Use the bottom of a measuring cup, glass, or ramekin to press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until fragrant, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\n

For the filling:
\nIn a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, 3\/4 cup powdered sugar, and the peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n

In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the heavy cream and add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.<\/p>\n

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour into the prepared pie shell and freeze for 3 hours or chill in the fridge at least 6 hours.<\/p>\n

Then decorate with Reece\u2019s cups, melted chocolate and peanut butter. Pie can be frozen or refrigerated. Enjoy! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":338,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[4],"class_list":["post-336","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-dessert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=336"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Frecipe_category&post=336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
