Jordan Loves Peanut Butter Pie

"When I was in college, I used to order Peanut Butter Pie from Creme de la Creme in Rochester, NY. Mmmmm....yummy. Years later (when I finally started learning to cook!), I saw this recipe in my mother's Johnson County Library Gets Cooking! (Johnson County, Kansas, that is) and I thought, "this needs the chocolate topping from those chocolate mint brownies a couple pages back." Oh yeah! Jordan is my step-son. He gobbled this pie up! (Well, he had help.) For the crust, mix 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs with 4 Tablespoons melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie plate."

  1. Oh my goodness, OH MY GOODNESS! This pie is delicious! And sooooo easy to make! I used my electric mixer instead of folding in the whipped cream because the peanut butter mix was a little stiff and it still turned out fabulous! Great recipe - will store this one for the future!
     
  2. This was eaten in one night at our house. My hubby and kids couldn't get enough. I followed the recipe as written other then I used Splenda instead of sugar because that is all I buy. I also used a graham cracker crust instead of the chocolate. Yummy!
     
  3. Unbelievablely smooth and decadent!! I cannot wait to make this again!
     
  4. My pie looks just like the photo by Boomette, and I bet that even with the changes I made it is just as tasty. This pie was easily adapted to one suitable for a diabetic diet, and couldn't have been easier to assemble...got to love no bake desserts! I used low fat cream cheese, Splenda, fat free Cool Whip, and natural peanut butter with excellent results which I swear could fool a non-dieter. Chocolate with peanuts is a dynamite combination, and we think this pie is terrific.
     
  5. I used only half a cup of sugar. I didn't want it too sweet and that way it's perfect. I love the taste of the peanut butter, cream cheese and cool whip. I would eat it without the chocolate on top. It's a great addition but optional for me. Thanks Mliss :) Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
