| Thinking your question through I have a couple of suggestions. There
probably isn't a recipe for Peanutbutter Pie so you will have to make
one. You could try chiffon, custard or cheesecake bases. I'd whip
some air into the peanutbutter first and use creamy till you know how
it will turn out. Perhaps a half cup added to a plain recipe would be
an amount to start with. Chocolate could be added to the "Crust"
either chips, cocoa or melted chocolate w/sugar. You could always melt
a chocolate bar too.

| 3420.2 | PEANUT BUTTER PIE | VISUAL::FLMNGO::WHITCOMB | | Thu Jan 16 1992 13:11 | 18 |
| This is a recipe for peanut butter pie using Cool Whip. I think I may have a
recipe or two at home for a more "traditional" peanut butter pie made with a
flour crust, but meanwhile I'll post this one and look for the other one
tonight.
PEANUT BUTTER PIE
-----------------
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup confectionary sugar
8 oz. container Cool Whip
9" graham cracker crust
In a large bowl, blend the first four items until smooth. Fold Cool Whip into
peanut butter mixture and pour into crust. Freeze until firm.

| 3420.3 | will the real peanut butter pie please stand up? | CSSE32::RAWDEN | Cheryl Graeme Rawden | Thu Jan 16 1992 14:53 | 11 |
| The peanut butter pie that I'm searching for resembles the consistency
of a toll house cookie, only a bit mushier. It's definitely not made
with cool whip and it's not a cheesecake base. The chocolate was in
the pie, not the pie crust (which was a regular crust).
Before you ask, yes I did request the recipe but the restaurant refuses
to share. They know we'll go back for more time and time again. :^)
They serve this pie hot, with real whipped cream on top. Some
restaurants have a similar version of this only theirs have a much
stronger peanut butter flavor which doesn't taste anywhere near as
good!

| This recipe sounds a little more like what you're looking for. Although there
is no chocolate in the recipe, you could probably add your own.
PEANUT BUTTER PIE
-----------------
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 TBS flour
1 TBS butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup corn syrup
1 unbaked pie shell
Combine the eggs and peanut butter and mix until well blended. Combine the
sugar and flour and blend into the egg mixture. Add the margarine or butter,
vanilla and syrup and mix until well combined. Turn into pie shell and bake
at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake
for 1 hour longer.

| Re: -5, Yes, thank you, that does sound like it could be the recipe.
Will try this weekend but with one addition of 2 or 3 ounces of
chocolate chips.

| 3420.8 | WHAT I WOULD DO | DECLNE::ARCHIBALD | | Fri Jan 17 1992 13:04 | 12 |
| Hello,
I would suggest writing one of the leading cooking magazines and
telling them that this restaurant refused to give you the recipe. My
step-brother did this a few years ago and the magizine printed his
letter and the recipe (I think the the magizine was Gourmet or maybe
Bon Appetite).
Good Luck!

| The recipe in .5 did the trick. Only problem was the length of cooking
time. The pie was done after 35-40 minutes at the lower temperature.
If it had baked one hour, it would have been hard as a rock.
The idea of adding chocolate morsels half worked. When added to the
batter, they sank to the bottom. This was ok because the chocolate was
on the top of the pie crust (like the restaurant does) but it just
didn't have that fudgelike flavor. Guess this means it's a good enough
reason to do more experimenting. :^)
