Notes:  I've made this recipes several times now and this is what I have found.  If you follow the recipe as stated the peanut butter layer comes out quite thick like the filling of a reeses peanut butter cup.  I thinned it down some by adding 2 additional table spoons if heavy cream.  Either way it came out really tasty.  I also found that whipping up 2 cups of heavy cream make a LOT of whipped cream.  You can cut it down  to either one cup or one cup and 1/2 and adjust the powdered sugar to taste.  I suggest trying the recipe as written the first time then experiment on your own from there.

The photo shows this pie with a different crust, but other than that, its the same.
