What do you do after noshing on a variety of savory appetizers, dips, and finger foods? You balance it out with a slice of creamy peanut butter pie (aka ” Rule of 1 pie” at my house). You don’t think about the calories and you most definitely don’t glimpse at the pedometer you’re wearing that is grossly under the recommended daily steps because tomorrow is another day in which you can hit the treadmill with vim and vigor.
This recipe can’t be any easier as it calls for 1 of every ingredient and there are only 6. It’s an easy list to store to memory and a great dessert to make when you’re short on time. When using a purchased pie crust it’s pretty much effortless. Then again, crushing a bag of Oreos or any other chocolate sandwich cookie can be considered exercise, right? Sure.
Beat one 8 oz. package of cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar and one container of whipped topping until creamy. Pour into chocolate pie crust and top with one package of peanut butter cups, chopped. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and then dig into a decadent slice of heaven aka Rule of 1 Peanut Butter Pie.
Wishing you a New Year filled with many sweet moments! Enjoy!
