If you prefer to make your own Crumb Crusts (diabetics really should, using sugar-free products) or it is a long drive to the grocery store for a pre-made crust, here is a recipe for you. Also, a recipe for a quick to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie. This pie is a good make-ahead recipe as it needs to freeze for 6 hours. Also, it is a good dessert for summertime barbecues, etc. since it a cold dessert! And who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter together?
EASY CRUMB CRUSTS FOR PIES
This recipe calls for graham crackers but you can easily substitute chocolate wafers, vanilla wafers or gingersnaps using the same amount called for in the recipe.
1 1/4 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar (or Splenda granular for diabetics)
1/4 cup butter, melted
Combine the crumbs and the sugar; mix in the butter. Press firmly onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. For an unbaked pie crust, chill 1 hour before filling. For a baked crust, bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes and cool thoroughly before filling.
Note: For an 8-inch pie pan, use only 1 cup of crumbs, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of butter.
QUICK TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PIE
1 Graham cracker pie shell
2 squares (1-oz each) semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 container (8-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate squares for 15 seconds. Stir chocolate to see if completely melted. If not, cook in 15 second intervals until completely melted. Remove from the microwave and add the sweetened condensed milk and the peanut butter to the chocolate, mixing well. Fold in the whipped topping until well blended. Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
Freeze for at least six hours. To serve, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, etc. Use your imagination to make this recipe your own.
Enjoy!
Note: Store any leftovers in the freezer.
