Very good, easy to do. But for a short cut could you not use a 8 oz container of cool whip? Thawed of course"},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Harry K."},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":"1","bestRating":"5"},"reviewBody":"Well! I just popped not one, but TWO of these in my freezer and I can tell you I can hardly wait for a sample slice! I made this according to Sandra's directions, with one change on purpose and one change by accident. After reading the reviews, I decided that the milk could be nicely replaced by whipping cream. This resulted in a classic ganache for the top. My accidental change was the omission of the chopped peanuts for the garnish on top. (I thought I had all my ingredients, but only after I started did I realize I was missing salted peanuts.) I had fun putting these pies together and I am sure I will have even more fun eating them! I cut and pasted the recipe onto a 4X6 inch card for my file where it will have a place of honor among my many treasured recipes. Thanks Sandra!

Step 1
Heat the milk in a small pot over low heat until warm. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly; mixture should be thick but have a pourable consistency.
Step 2
In a large bowl using an electric mixer on high, beat together the cream cheese with the peanut butter and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, beat together the heavy cream with the vanilla until doubled in volume and soft peaks form.
Step 3
Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until combined.
Step 4
Spread into the graham cracker crust. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the pie and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Place the pie in the freezer to set up, about 1 hour.
