Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

  • 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a medium bowl, stir together wafer crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

Bake for 8 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate morsels onto hot crust; let stand for 2 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly onto crust.

In a small bowl, beat heavy cream with a mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, beating until stiff peaks form; refrigerate.

Garnish with chocolate, whipped cream, and strawberries, if desired.
