Method

  1. Grease a deep-dish pie dish with butter.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

  3. Add 2 cups of marshmallow creme to the saucepan and continuously whisk until melted and combined with the butter (around 2 minutes).

  4. Remove from heat and mix in the cereal and pretzels until coated.

  5. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish.

  6. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of marshmallow creme, and 1 cup of peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth (approximately 2 minutes).

  7. Slowly add the heavy cream to the mixture while continuing to beat until light, fluffy, and stiff peaks form (around 5 minutes).

  8. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top, making sure not to cover the crust edge.

  9. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and pourable (about 1 minute).

  10. Drizzle half of the melted peanut butter over the pie.

  11. Spoon the remaining 1 cup of marshmallow creme onto the center of the pie and smooth it out slightly to resemble a soft marshmallow pillow.
