Peanut Butter Pie

Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
"My husband loves peanut butter, so I wanted to come up with a dessert recipe using it. The result tastes like eating a peanut butter and chocolate candy bar without a lot of fat. I use this recipe for special occasions and usually make two pies--one to eat and one to keep." --CL Reader
Yield: 20 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) block light cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup natural-style, reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (such as Smucker's)
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- 1 12-ounce tub frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
- 2 9-inch ready-made reduced-fat graham cracker shells
- 4 teaspoons fat-free chocolate sundae syrup
Preparation
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, and beat until combined. Stir in the whipped topping. Divide the mixture evenly between shells; chill 8 hours or until set (pies will have a soft, fluffy texture). Cut into wedges, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Note: We loved this pie frozen--its texture is more like that of an ice-cream pie.

This pie was great. It was super easy to make and kept well in the fridge and freezer. It thawed quickly, and was not very good once it was warm, but that is the only complaint! I will definitely be making this again.12/02/09

Definitely omit the powdered sugar because it is quite sweet on its own. I substituted the cream cheese for the fat-free version and it still came out great! Frozen is the way to go, as recommended. I used both pies-- one for my husband's family and mine, and needless to say, there are no leftovers here! The drizzled chocolate makes it look very stylish on the plate-- making them think you bought it at a store.11/28/09
