Health benefits of MySweetCreations Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

18 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®), crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
3/4 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 tablespoons chocolate sundae syrup (such as Smucker's®)
2 tablespoons caramel sundae syrup (such as Smucker's®)
4 peanut butter cups (such as Reese's®), chopped

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix the chocolate cookies with the butter and cinnamon in a bowl. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust hardens, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the peanut butter until well blended, then fold in 3 cups whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Transfer the mixture onto the cooled cookie crust, spreading evenly on top.
Place the remaining 3/4 cup whipped topping into a pastry bag with a tip. Pipe the topping on the pie decoratively. Drizzle the chocolate and caramel syrups on top, and sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups.
