Peanut Butter Pie

Reese pieOh…my…word.  I was feeling all Donna Reed this weekend and decided to put together a decent meal, since I had been working long hours all week and generally been a grouch the rest of the time.  (I’m sure y’all never have those guilty-mom feelings ;-) ).  So, I made up some homemade sloppy joes in the crock pot, baked some sweet ‘tater fries, plated up some fresh cherries, and even made a pie.  Jameson asked if it was a special occasion, seeing as how I was making dessert.  I said, “Yes.  It’s special.  I feel like making pie.”  He didn’t argue.  Anyway, I adapted this little recipe for a no-bake, oh-so-yummy, cool dessert.

It was so good I made it a few days later for community group (and this time I DID double the Reese cups).

Recipe: Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

  1. 1 10-inch chocolate graham cracker crust
  2. 4 oz cream cheese,  softened
  3. 1 cup powdered sugar
  4. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  5. 1/2 cup milk
  6. 1 (8-oz) container Cool Whip
  7. 2 regular-sized Reese Cup packages (4 total, 2 per pkg), chopped

Instructions

  1. Whip cream cheese until soft and fluffy.
  2. Beat in powdered sugar and peanut butter.
  3. Slowly add milk, blending in thoroughly.
  4. Fold in Cool Whip and 2 Reese cups
  5. Pour into graham cracker crust
  6. Scatter remaining Reese cups on top.
  7. Freeze until firm and serve.

I made this slightly healthier with low-fat cream cheese, no-sugar added PB, lite Cool Whip, and the Splenda baking mix.  Whoa, maybe this could be considered health food, LOL.  I could have gone the other direction and used more Reese cups.  :-D
