Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie (Kopie)

*****

adapted from Jif

Ingredients:
1 prepared chocolate cookie pie crust
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup Jif creamy peanut butter (I've also made it with Peter Pan because that's what we had, and it was not as good as the Jif pie!)
8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
4 1/2 cups Cool Whip (12 oz. container)
1 (11.75 oz) jar of Smucker's hot fudge topping

Directions:
In a medium bowl, beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Gently fold in 3 cups of Cool Whip and spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie shell. Put hot fudge in a bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir, then cover the peanut butter layer and freeze. Garnish each slice with whipped cream as they are served.
