Pastry Ingredients 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs 1/2 cup chopped pecans 6 Tablespoons unsalted melted butter 2 Tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Filling Ingredients 1-1/4 cup creamy peanut butter One 8 ounce package softened cream cheese 1 cup powdered sugar 1 Tablespoon vanilla 1-1/4 cups whipping cream Glaze Ingredients 1/2 cup half & half or cream 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped
Directions:
Mix all ingredients for pastry and press firmly in 10-inch pie pan. Freeze while preparing filling.Filling: Use electric mixer to beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Using clean, dry beaters, beat whipping cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Stir in 1/2 of cream mixture into peanut butter mixture. Fold well, then fold in the remaining cream mixture. Filling will be thick, so spread carefully into prepared crust and refrigerate until firm. Glaze: Bring half & half or cream to a boil, reduce heat, and stir in chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and melted. Cool slightly and pour over filling, tilting pie pan for even distribution. Coat top of pie completely and refrigerate 1 hour; can be made one day ahead. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls and enjoy! Asa Ransom House Bed and Breakfast and Restaurant | |
