Oh what to make for a big boys birthday? After 3 birthdays we are sick of cake. (our son gets two..the real one and the one with Grandpa and Grandma) So I am watching the
Food Network the other day. The Neely's were on and they made a
peanut butter pie. It reminded me of a pie my friend Kathy made way back when...but her pie had a fudge layer on the bottom. Thanks to Google I found a number of recipes and settled on this one from
Eagle Brand.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2 cups frozen whipped topping
Instructions
- COMBINE 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Place 2 tablespoons chocolate mixture in small resealable plastic bag for drizzle. Spread remaining chocolate mixture evenly onto bottom of pie crust. Chill 10 minutes.
- BEAT remaining sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and peanut butter in large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon over chocolate layer. Cut corner off bag with reserved chocolate mixture. Drizzle over pie.
- FREEZE 1 hour or until firm.
- Can be made ahead and kept in freezer. Transfer from freezer to refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes before serving.
I'll add the final picture before we cut them with the chocolate on top. Of course I had to make two, I know our friends and one pie would never be enough. Last but not least is a picture worth a thousand words :
Every little boy loves to lick the bowl after you make dessert!
Here are the pictures of the finished pies:
