Ingredients

1
Pillsbury Pet-Ritz Pie Crust, regular, 9” (10oz)
8
ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1/4
cup cashew butter
3
Tbsp. fudge ice cream topping
1
cup heavy whipping cream
1/2
jar puffed marshmallow crème
5
oz. pack malted milk balls, divided – chop fine 3oz and half the remainder to be added to top of the pie.
1
bottle cool hardening chocolate fudge

Directions

Prepare crust according to the directions and let cool.

Beat cream cheese, cashew butter and fudge topping together until smooth.

Then whip heavy whipping cream until peaks form. Fold the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese/cashew butter mixture along with the marshmallow crème and the finely chopped malted milk balls.

Spoon the cashew butter mixture into the crust with a layer about 1 inch thick. Spread until smooth along the bottom of the crust.

Spread a layer of cool hardening chocolate fudge over the cashew butter mixture and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Add another layer of the cashew butter mixture and spread smooth. Spread the cool hardening chocolate fudge again and freeze for 10 more minutes.

Finally, add the remaining cashew butter mixture, top with halved malted milk balls, create a design with remaining cool hardening chocolate fudge and place in freezer at least 1 hour.

Remove at least 15 minutes before serving to allow it to slightly soften.
