- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
 
- Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a pie dish, ensuring it fits evenly and pressing down gently on the bottom and sides.
 
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
 
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
 
- Assemble Filling: Spread the creamy peanut butter cheesecake mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
 
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed monster cookies evenly over the top of the filling, then add the chocolate chips and mini M&Ms to create a colorful, crunchy layer.
 
- Bake: Bake the assembled pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
 
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure clean slices and optimal flavor.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
 
- Allow the pie to cool fully before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
 
- Monster cookies typically contain oats, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and peanut butter, adding texture and flavor.
 
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
 
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the pie crust and monster cookies with gluten-free versions.
