Pie #23 Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

This next recipe comes from Stephanie.  She is a SAHM of 3 awesome kids, the youngest she just had last week! Stephanie recently was awarded the North Dakota Mother of the Year!  And if you know Stephanie at all, you’ll know that she more than deserved it.  One thing I know about Stephanie is that she is a lover of chocolate, and this pie does not disappoint.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup whipping cream

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 c. powdered sugar

1 prepared pie crust

Directions

Melt chocolate.  Add sweetened condensed milk and stir them well.  Mix in the peanut butter and create a nice, smooth mixture.  Set aside.  In a separate bowl, whip the cream until light and fluffy (don't overbeat or you'll get butter); when whipped, add vanilla and powdered sugar.  Mix in.  Using a rubber scraper, fold the chocolate mixture into the whipping cream; scoop from the bottom of the bowl and lift to the top, turning the bowl and repeating until the two mixtures are fully combined and there are no more white spots.  Pour the filling into the pie crust and put into the freezer for several hours (ideally, 6-8) until fully set.  Top with whipped cream, grated chocolate, drizzled melted chocolate or any other garnishes you'd like.

This pie was super easy to make and I love that it’s a frozen pie.  I topped this pie with Cool Whip chopped peanut butter cups and chocolate syrup all I can say is that It is deliciously sinful!!

ENJOY!!
