RECIPE: CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

This is almost a no-bake pie. The crust has to be baked for 10 minutes.

If you don’t want to turn on the oven, you could substitute a purchased chocolate cookie crust.

Ingredients For The Crust

1-1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs (substitute Oreo crumbs)

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar

For The Filling

1 cup creamy peanut butter, room temperature

1 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted

8 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature

1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

1/4 cup mini chocolate morsels

1/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

1/4 cup English toffee (e.g. Heath Bar bits)

Stonewall Kitchen Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce, heated until pourable (or substitute any chocolate fudge sauce with some warm PB mixed in)

Preparation

1. PREHEAT the oven to 350°F. Crush the chocolate graham crackers in a food processor fitted with a metal blade or by placing the crackers in a zip-lock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

2. ADD the melted butter and confectioner’s sugar to the crumbs and mix. Place the crumbs in a 9-inch pie pan, pressing to line the bottom and sides of the pan.

3. BAKE the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.

4. COMBINE the peanut butter, 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla extract in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined, making sure to not over-mix.

5. GENTLY fold in the whipped cream and chocolate morsels. Spread the filling evenly in the baked crumb crust.

6. SPRINKLE the pecans and English toffee bits over the top of the pie.

7. GENEROUSLY DRIZZLE the chocolate peanut butter sauce over the top of the pie. Chill the pie until ready to serve.

Leftovers can be frozen. We like to freeze individual slices to make it easier to defrost just what we need.

We even enjoy eating the pie frozen from the freezer.
