Peanut Butter Cream Pie

This is so delicious. When I was pregnant, I craved chocolate and peanut butter, so I came up with this idea and it's SO GOOD! Hope you enjoy as well!


First make the crust:

• 15 oreo cookies
• 4 TBSP butter
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

put all these threw your blender and press onto the bottom of a 9" pie pan. Bake at 375 for about 12-15 minutes.

Then the filling:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups cold milk
• 4 eggs (separate the yolks and the egg whites)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 Tsp butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter (you can add more if you want)

Mix the sugar, corn starch and salt. Slowly add the 3 cups cold milk. Heat over medium heat until boiling. (You'll want to stir constantly).
In a separate bowl mix the egg yolks. Add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks and mix well. Then add the egg mixture to the milk mixture and boil for about2 minutes. Add the vanilla and the peanut butter.

Pour filling into pie crust.

Then bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Finally the chocolate topping:

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 2tbsp butter

Melt these and drisel over the pie. Refrigerate for about 4 hours. 

ENJOY!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate and peanut butter, they go together great and kids love these easy to make cookies. You mix these like you do most cookies or cakes. Beat the fats until creamy and in a different bowl you mix your dry ingredients then mix them together. I know there is much debate about how to do this, dry to wet or wet to fat; both work. However, Alton Brown (one of my heroes) recommends the muffin method, that means adding the wet goods to the dry ones and just mixing until batter comes together, it doesn't have to be smooth.

Beat ½ Cup butter

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

Add 1¼ cups flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

Add 1 cup chocolate chips

Mix well

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes
