Peanut Butter Bacon Pie

This no-bake pie is absolutely fabulous and super easy to make.

Ingredients

• 4 slices Kentucky Legend Bacon Naturally Smoked Hickory Bacon
• 8 oz brick-style plain cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2/3 cup icing sugar, sifted
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups prepared whipped topping
• 1 store-bought prepared graham wafer pie crust
• 1/2 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce

Directions

1. In a large skillet set over medium-low heat, cook bacon for 8 to 10 minutes or until fat is rendered and bacon is very crispy. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate; let cool completely and chop finely. Reserve 2 tbsp bacon fat.
2. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, icing sugar, reserved bacon fat and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped topping.
3. Spoon filling into prepared pie crust. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or until set and well chilled.
4. Just before serving, garnish with bacon and peanuts. Drizzle caramel sauce over top.

Tips:

• For a loaded pie, garnish with dollops of whipped topping and serve with a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce. Scatter shaved chocolate over top.
• Substitute a prepared chocolate crust for the graham wafer crust if preferred.
