I love pie!

I remember my son going through a phase when all the boys would say, I love pie , and then would break into giggles. Well, I love pie too!! Summertime to me means many things: swimming, sand dollars, flip flops and pies. One of my favorite memories is going to my grandparents house at Beaver Lake. Every night after a long day at the dock we would come up to the house and eat an amazing meal with pie for dessert! Nothing better than a slice of chilled cream pie after a long hot day!

If you love creamy chilled pies then look no further! In fact, this week at the Sassy Recipe Club I will be featuring The Fat Jack’s Key Lime Pie and Coconut Cream Pie as featured on News9 this week!!

Here is my famous Monster Peanut Butter Pie! I made this up years back when I had a friend who asked me if I could create a pie that was creamy and tasted like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Well, this is what I came up with…the rest is history!

Monster Peanut Butter Pie

1-6 ounce pre-made Oreo Pie Crust
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1-8 ounce package Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup powdered sugar plus 1 tablespoon
2 cups heavy whipping cream plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla paste
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped unsalted peanuts
In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons whipping cream in a microwave. Pour inside the Oreo crust and spread all over the sides and on the bottom. Set in fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Using a large bowl that has been chilled in the freezer for 15 minutes, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla paste and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar till stiff peaks form.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer and blend together the cream cheese and peanut butter. Mix in the powdered sugar. Using a spatula, fold in the ¾ of the whipped cream. Spread peanut butter filling inside pie crust and top with whipping cream. Garnish with mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. Cover pie loosely with plastic wrap and place into the freezer. Allow to chill for 4-8 hours.

    Caryn, when you showed the Monster Peanut Butter Pie on ch9 news you had a whipped cream dispenser/maker. Where did you say you can purchase this? It sounds perfect for what I need. Thanks so much, Rhonda
