Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

My husband is a big fan of peanut butter desserts. Lucky for him, I recently came across a recipe for a pie that looked easy and delicious. We ate the entire thing in 3 days if that tells you anything.Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie (from www.eat-drink-smile.com)
Ingredients:

Crust:
1 cup vanilla wafer cookies (about 20 cookies)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted
Cooking spray

Filling:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz) 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/2 cup reduced fat peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) container frozen fat free whipped topping, thawed
1 large banana, sliced (enough to cover bottom of crust)
chocolate syrup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Place cookies in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add 1/3 cup brown sugar and butter; pulse 2 to 3 times or just until combined. Press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes; cool completely on a wire rack.

Place 3/4 cup brown sugar, cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Arrange banana in bottom of crust. Spread peanut butter mixture over banana; drizzle with chocolate syrup. Cover and freeze 8 hours, let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!!
