Ingredients
For the crust:
2cupsrice krispies cereal
1/3cup(90 grams) peanut butter
1/3cup(113 grams) honey
No Bake Peanut Butter Pie Filling:
8ounces(227 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3/4cup(94 grams) powdered sugar
1cup(270 grams) peanut butter
1cup(240 grams) heavy whipping cream
1teaspoon(15 mL) vanilla extract
For garnish:
1cup(240 grams) heavy whipping cream
2tablespoons(15 mL) powdered sugar
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
First, make the crust: combine the cereal, peanut butter and honey and mix very well.
Press the cereal mixture into the bottom of the pie pan, using a greased measuring cup to help you move it around and up the sides of the pie pan. Bring the crust up about half-way. Place it in the fridge while you make the filling.
Next, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, heavy whipping cream and vanilla until very smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Scrape this mixture into the crust. Smooth the surface flat, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (I usually do it overnight so it cuts very nicely).
Before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and use it to garnish, if desired.

Notes
You can make the crust and pie filling up to 48 hours in advance. Simply cover it in plastic wrap and then garnish it with whipped cream the day you plan to serve it.
You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, but known that the whipped cream garnish might go a little soft over time. Still delicious, though!
You can freeze extra slices for up to 6 months tightly wrapped in freezer-safe products. The rice krispies treat crust is a bit hard when frozen, so thaw on the counter for a few minutes before eating.
