Best Restaurant Dessert - My Secret Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Best Restaurant Dessert - My Secret Peanut Butter Pie Recipe Peanut Butter Pie is my absolute favorite dessert and the best restaurant dessert! The trouble is though, it is hard to find on many restaurant menus. I am finally introducing to the world my secret peanut butter pie recipe, formulated over the years and after tasting many different versions of the dessert. I've found that a chocolate crust is a must and the denser versions have always pleased my taste buds the most. The cream cheese in this recipe adds density and extreme richness. I am so excited to be sharing this recipe with you now!

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pie 1 chocolate crust ** 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 3/4 cup peanut butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 small tub (extra creamy) cool whip 1 to 2 teaspoons chocolate flavored syrup **Chocolate crust: In a heavy saucepan (low heat) melt 1/3 cup margarine or butter and 1 (6- ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips. Remove from heat; gently stir in 2 1/2 cups rice crispy cereal until completely coated. Press into bottom and up sides of a greased 9-10 inch pie plate. Chill 30 minutes. In a large bowl, beat cheese until fluffy; beat in condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Fold in cool whip. Turn into crust. Drizzle syrup over top of pie and gently swirl with a spoon. Place in freezer until set (usually over night). I use a 10 inch quiche plate for this recipe, however a deep dish 9 inch plate will also work. It can be stored in the freezer for several weeks, so it is a great make ahead dessert. Some of the best restaurant desserts are make ahead desserts, because fresh desserts are costly for a restaurant to house. A restaurant would have to have a contract with a high quality bakery in the area or specialize in fresh homemade desserts to be able to present great tasting fresh desserts.

Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

What You Need

1 cup butter flavored shortening 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour 2 cups uncooked quick oats 1/4 cup butter flavored shortening 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup peanut butter chips 1/2 cup sugar coated candies 1/2 cup diced cherries 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup flake coconut 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer you will add the shortening and then cream it on a low speed setting. While beating add 1 cup of sugar and the packed brown sugar, and then cream together until smooth and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time while creaming together with the shortening mixture. Add the peanut butter, baking soda, vanilla flavoring, and salt to this mixture and then beat for 2 or 3 minutes until it is well blended. Using a large spoon, you will gradually stir in the oats a little at a time until well combined.

Press this mixture onto an un-greased pizza pan or baking sheet evenly. Gently pinch up the sides as you go around the edges of the pan to form a rim. Place in the preheated oven to bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until it is a nice golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the crust to completely become cool to the touch.

After the crust is cool add the sugar coated candies, cherries, raisins, coconut and nuts by sprinkling them over the pizza you are making. Arrange the miniature marshmallows and then set aside while you prepare the topping.

Using a small saucepan over a low heat, you will add the remaining shortening and allow it to melt slowly. Add peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir to melt and mix with the shortening. Remove from heat and allow this to cool for a short time. Stir to mix and then drizzle this peanut butter chocolate topping over the candy filling of your chocolate peanut butter dessert pizza.

Place in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for several hours before cutting into small serving wedges for your holiday party or as an everyday peanut butter snack.
