my birthday is coming up, now to decide what to make….In today’s post: This easy chocolate peanut butter pie only requires 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time. i used to spend oodles of $$ for birthday cakes bought at whole foods and they were too horribly sweet and unhealthy. Thanks again to katie for a superb recipe. Then divide filling into 12 cups and freeze again!Īcc to my star charts: each individual pielet is 134 including crust, 100 without crust didn’t think it needed it.ĭivide crust into 12 balls, press into 12 muffin tins (i lined each w/ parchment muffin paper) freeze few min i did not add any stevia or anything like that. i’m not super fond of a strong banana taste and this is perfect, the taste of bananas is scarcly present, just adds a nice sweetness. subbed pb2 for peanut butter, mori nu firm tofu for 2 bananas, reduced fat unsweetened coconut for nuts in crust as i had not a single nut (other than pb2 😉 in the house.

Made this with some substitutions and was very pleased. I am excited for it to be my son’s 3rd birthday “cake”! Overall, I am really impressed with this recipe- the ease and the outcome. I think I’ll crumble some of the leftover lara bar on top with a few chopped peanuts for garnish since I don’t have any chocolate syrup. Tastes like banana.” So, in response to those who are wondering if it’ll taste like banana: YES (unless maybe you used under-ripe rather than over-ripe bananas? but then it wouldn’t be as sweet). I took some on a spoon to my hubby to taste (who did not know the ingredients at all) and his response was, “That’s really good. The texture and flavor FAR surpassed what I expected. I tasted it and decided to add an additional 3-4 T. I did not add any sugar/stevia or other sweetener. Mott’s Original (sweetened because I had it on hand) for the rest. I used the ingredient amounts for “deep dish” except I only used 2 bananas and subbed 1 1/4 c. (I knew I could trust Katie’s recipes to be good anyway!) I made this in a 9″ round metal cake pan lined with saran wrap and used larabar as a crust (I don’t like coconut and couldn’t find GF alternative to graham crackers). I typically like to try recipes before debuting them at a party, but just bought ingredients last minute. My son is turning 3 and we’re having a “Peanut Butter Party” for his birthday tomorrow. You could do this in ice cube trays as well (which I like to do with a lot of puddings, dips and smoothies) for small portions.Īnyway, I could hardly stop licking the utensils… Then, since I love cold bite size portions, I used a pb cup mold and added a scant 1/2 t crust in each, pressed to stick it, filled up the cups with pie filling (about 1 t) and froze. I also made your chocolate crust as suggested. Here’s what I did if it will help some others–I can’t really do sugars, even natural, so I cut out 2 bananas (used 1 very ripe med size), added 3oz extra firm silken tofu, stuck with stevia to sweeten (about 20 drops toffee flavor in addition to the powder you call for), added about 1/2 t maple extract to make up for missing flavor (and mine didn’t taste one bit banana-ish, for those readers not wanting banana flavor). I made a couple subs due to my dietary needs and it is still yum. I look forward to receiving each new recipe in my inbox!Īnd I made this pie as soon as I saw the post last night. Happy birthday Katie! Youve given many people (especially me!) the gift of hope, that there are many fab delish options even on a highly restrictive diet. In my family, we have this cake called Maple Chiffon Cake, and pretty much all of my relatives have that cake on their birthdays– uncles, aunts, mom, dad, sister… just not me.Įven as a little kid, I wasn’t interested if it wasn’t chocolate!Īnd I prefer pie to cake, so I’ve had a lot of chocolate pie birthdays. Is there a special dessert that you always eat on your birthday? Just because life exists outside of chocolate doesn’t mean we should pack our bags and move away forever. Technically, chocolate did still make an appearance at the party-in the crust and topping. Really, I didn’t miss the chocolate one bit. However, this no-bake peanut butter pie was so good it forced me to make an exception. It’ll only take one bite to convince you: There is life outside Planet Chocolate.įor my birthday every year, I usually have my favorite: The Ultimate Chocolate Pie I didn’t believe it either, until I tried this rich and creamy no-bake peanut butter pie. I need to tell you something… and it’s pretty shocking. This no-bake peanut butter pie is ultra creamy and completely delicious!
