I don't know what the weather is like in your area, but we're having a heat wave here in South Carolina. At temperatures like this you need to have a frozen dessert on hand.
This Peanut Butter Pie is a specialty from my friend Linda.You know you have a true friend when she invites your family over for dinner right before a major kitchen remodel! This pie is delicious and I hope you will keep it in mind the next time you need a cool dessert that can be made up ahead of time.
Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
Crust:
1 sleeve graham crackers, broken
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter
Combine crackers, sugar, and cocoa in food processor and whirl to make crumbs. Add the melted margarine and whirl again until the crumbs look like wet sand. Press into a 10" pie plate.
Peanut Butter Filling:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
8 oz. Cool Whip
8 oz. cream cheese
Soften cream cheese and then cream together with the peanut butter. Add the powdered sugar and milk alternately and beat until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip. Pour into the crust and freeze. This looks pretty garnished with chocolate syrup.
This chocolate crust could be used for a number of desserts:
Enjoy on a hot summer day!

My husband loves peanut butter, so I’ll have to try this one out. Thanx for passing it along!

I’ve made this pie many times, and the recipe is from my friend Linda–I think she’s the same Linda!
Anyway, the only difference is the crust. My chocolate crust has always been crushed oreos and butter. I’ve never tried this one.

Rhonda, this crust is a nice recipe to have on hand to use up leftover graham crackers!
