Utter the word peanut butter and I’m there . . . and
chocolate? Sure, why not! This no bake pie caught my attention for no
other reason than the fact that peanut butter pies are delicious and no-bake
recipes are easy-breezy.
Mac and I will
be doing dinner with friends this evening and I might just have enough time to
prepare after work before people start to gather. I am thinking I might modify this recipe just
a hair and add a smear of peanut butter and/or chop up some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and put them the bottom? Who doesn't like a gooey, unexpected surprise when eating dessert?
Plus, this pie is a
reduced-fat version and so I’m allowed to eat at least a third of it myself without
the assistance of others (and if no one is looking, I might just eat it straight out of
the pan . . .)
Alright, here’s the
recipe:

Update my friends:
ReplyDeleteI made this pie and it was delicious; however, I did "un-skinny" it! Haha, I followed the directions i.e. non-fat, fat free ingredients. However, I found myself getting a little ambitious by adding a DOUBLE layer of chocolate ganache to the mix. Oh my! And it was Ghirardelli chocolate, too. Needless to say it tasted like an extra large Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
I highly recommend this recipe and even though I trashed its "skinny" intentions the pie was easy to make and completely fool-proof. A perfect entertaining dish.
I'll keep this one on the books.
