Remember how I won first place in my school's bake off last year? Well, I couldn't pull that off again, but I did manage to squeeze by and get third place! I decided to dazzle the judges' taste buds with a bit of a new recipe of mine, Reese's Peanut Butter Pie.
I made this pie (in the picture) the week before in preparation for the bake off. I had never made it before, so I wanted to try it out on my brave husband before releasing it to the public. It was a hit! I made the actual entry last night. I was nervous when I first handed my pie over to the faculty because when I took off the pie cover, a lot of the stripes stuck to it and came off, and it looked awful! But I guess the taste won out, and I won a gift card to Target! My department chair asked if he could take what was left of the pie home, so I let him. Sorry, husband. I guess I'll just have to make it again sometime. Shucks. :)

ReplyDeleteReese's Peanut Butter Pie
1 prepared chocolate cookie pie crust
1 cup Jif creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
1/2 cup sugar
12 oz container of non-dairy whipped topping, divided
1 jar (11.75 oz) Smucker’s Hot Fudge Ice Cream Toppings, divided
Drizzle: 2 tbs Smucker’s Hot Fudge and 2 tbs Jif Peanut Butter
In a medium bowl, beat together the Jif peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar. Gently fold in 3 cups whipped topping. Spoon mixture into the pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.
Reserving 2 tablespoons of Smucker’s Hot Fudge, place remaining Smucker’s Hot Fudge into a microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Spread Smucker’s Hot Fudge over pie to cover the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until serving time.
Just before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
Place the 2 tbs Smucker’s Hot Fudge in a small baggie and knead for a few seconds. Cut a tiny hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle over pie. Do the same with 2 tbs Jif Peanut Butter going in the opposite direction of the Smucker’s Hot Fudge.
Holy bananas...I don't eat chocolate...or make pies...but I want to make THAT pie!!
