Delaware Beaches, They Eat Dessert!!, Guilt Free!! Peanut Butter Pie…Yum! Not only a Winner, but a Keeper!
It is that time of the year when friends stop by, families visit because you live at the beach…or you offered to bring dessert to a gathering. I think this one is not only a winner, but a keeper!! It’s the best combination; peanut butter and chocolate.
The group is following a low fat diet. It has been said that eating a diet in high fat, even good fats, it is the root of the havoc caused in our system…..Once a week we got together. We did not know each other. But, just like I mentioned on yesterday’s post, we are now friends. At the pot luck dinner, this dessert, along with the Skinny Strawberry Shortcake Trifle, “No Bake”, was a hit. Completely modified from the recipe found on Allrecipes. It became much lower in fat. And, even though it had Natural Peanut Butter, it was better than the regular peanut butter.
GUILT FREE!! PEANUT BUTTER PIE
1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1 (8 ounces) Greek Yogurt cream cheese, softened (This is delicious and new on the market.)
1/2 cup Stevia
1 (12 ounce) container light frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 prepared chocolate pie crust
1 (11.75 ounces) jar Smuckers Hot Fudge Microwaveable Ice Cream Topping, divided
2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
Beat together 1 cup peanut butter, cream cheese and Stevia in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium. Beat until well combined. Gentley mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined, as well. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of the pie.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of hot fudge topping into the corner of a resealable plastic bag. Microwave remaining topping, on High, for 1 minute. Stir. Spread topping over pie, covering the entire peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until set. Spread remaining whipped topping (1 1/2 cups), over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
Cut a small corner from bag containing topping. Squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pie. Place remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in another resealable food storage bag; cut bag corner and squeeze to drizzle in opposite direction from topping.
Refrigerate until ready to serve….Enjoy!!
