Recipe: Peanut Butter Pie

Image
 It is no secret that I love peanut butter. This is the perfect summer recipe for peanut butter lovers. Peanut Butter Pie: 1 large or 2 small prepared Oreo pie crusts 8 oz (227g) cream cheese 3/4 cup (94g) powdered sugar 1 cup (270g) creamy peanut butter 1 cup (240g) whipping cream 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 2 tbsp cornstarch or "Sahnefest" I am using a substitute for powdered sugar today because I realized at the last minute that I didn't have any. I substituted the 3/4 cup powdered sugar with about 2/3 cup sugar (130g) plus 2 tbsp cornstarch.  In a large mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and 3/4 cup powdered sugar.  Beat in peanut butter.  In a separate bowl, whip cream, vanilla and 2 tbsp cornstarch until it reaches soft peaks.  Fold into peanut butter mixture.  Spread into prepared Oreo pie crusts.  Freeze for at least 1 hour or refrigerate at least 3 hours. Serve frozen or refrigerated. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 ...

Recipe: Oreo Pie Crust

Image
 This is a handy one. You can use this for all kinds of no-bake pie recipes where a chocolate crust is just what you need. Oreo Pie Crust: 22 Oreo (or similar) cookies (250g) 1/3 cup (71g) melted butter Crush cookies any way you prefer to get them to fine crumbs. A food processor works well here, but you can also use a rolling pin on a plastic bag full of cookies, or a mortar and pestle if you prefer. But you should end up with about 2 good cups of fine Oreo crumbs.  Stir in the melted butter. Mixture will be quite thick and wet.  Press the cookie crumb mixture into your baking dish.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool before using in any no-bake recipe.
