PEANUT BUTTER PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the wafers and 1 tablespoon sugar. Process until the wafers are fine crumbs. Melt 3 ounces of the butter and drizzle into the crumb mixture. Pulse to combine. Press this mixture into the bottom, up the sides and just over the lip of a 9-inch metal pie pan. Place in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- After the crust has cooled, place the peanut butter and remaining 2 ounces of butter into the bowl of the food processor. Process for 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and process for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Carefully spread the mixture into the pie shell and return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the topping.
- Place the heavy cream into a heat-proof bowl and microwave on high just until simmering, approximately 30 seconds. Remove the cream from the microwave and add the chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is completely submersed in the cream. Allow to sit for 2 minutes. Gently whisk until the chocolate is melted and combined with the cream, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the chocolate mixture over the pie and chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours before serving.
- Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Yield: approximately 1 1/2 cups
- *Cooks note: If eating peanuts roasted right out of the shell, use Virginia or Valencia peanuts. If utilizing roasted peanuts to make peanut butter, use Spanish peanuts as they have a higher oil content.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
- Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
- If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.
- Yield: approximately 2 pounds roasted peanuts in shell

REAL SOUTHERN PEANUT BUTTER PIE

PEANUT BUTTER PIE
Dead simple to make, this pie hits all the right notes. Sweet, nutty peanut butter mellows next to the tang of rich cream cheese and gets a lift from a little whipped cream. But if that doesn't convince you, the chocolate cookie crust may. This version relies on five ingredients, instead of pre-made cookies, with the cocoa giving it a deep chocolate flavor. The crust is pressed into a well-buttered pie plate, baked, then cooled, ready to be filled and chilled. When it's time to serve, you have options: Finish it with a decorative chocolate topping or a puff of lightly sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Have a nonstick standard 9-inch pie plate ready, or generously butter a 9-inch standard pie plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt. Add butter, stirring and mashing with a fork, until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and press them evenly into the bottom and sides until crust is about 1/4-inch thick. Bake crust until it looks dry and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer at medium-high speed. Set aside. In another large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla and salt on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Use a large rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Chill uncovered for at least 4 to 6 hours, until filling is set.
- Make the topping, if using: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and the butter together in short bursts, stirring often. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a small plastic bag, and cut a 1/8-inch hole in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the top to make a decorative pattern. (You may have some left over depending on your taste.) Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Crush up cookies into a fine crumb (yes the whole package... less 2 because I ate them haha).
- 2. Put them into a large deep pie pan. Melt butter and drizzle over cookie crumbs. Mix well and begin to start pressing them down firmly in the center of pan working outward.
- 3. Keep pressing the cookie crust firmly into the pan working up the sides of the pan. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Seat aside and cool.
- 4. Melt package of chocolate chips with 1/3 c of heavy cream in microwave stirring every 10-15 seconds until melted, smooth and silky.
- 5. Pour most of the melted chocolate mixture over the crust setting aside a bit of it for a finishing drizzle. Work the chocolate up the sides of the crust and spread evenly. Put pie in refrigerator to chill while making the filling.
- 6. Cream together the peanut butter and cream cheese (I use my stand mixer for this part). Make the pudding in a separate bowl with the milk. When thick, add it to the peanut butter mixture. Then add the condensed milk and mix together well.
- 7. Beat the 1 1/2 heavy cream. When it just starts getting thicker add the sugar. Beat until thickened.
- 8. Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture and pour peanut butter filling into the pie. Smooth out evenly.
- 9. Spread the rest of the whipped cream on top of the peanut butter filling. Place chopped up peanut butter cups on top. Then drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. ENJOY!!!
Tips:
- For a creamier filling, use smooth peanut butter.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits inside the plate.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and then let it cool completely. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To serve, let the pie thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish the pie with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts before serving.
Conclusion:
