Peanut Butter Luster Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie dish.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of the marshmallow creme and whisk continuously until melted and combined with the butter, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and pretzels until coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and all the way up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of the marshmallow crème and 1 cup of the peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and continue beating until light, fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top, taking care not to cover the crust edge. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and pourable, about 1 minute.
• Drizzle half of the peanut butter over the pie. Spoon the remaining 1 cup marshmallow creme onto the center of the pie and smooth it out slightly so that it looks like a soft marshmallow pillow. Drizzle with the remaining peanut butter. Chill until set, 6 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for unfilled one crust pie using a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 450 for 9-11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely. In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips & 1 Tbsp margarine with 2 Tsp water, stirring constantly until smooth. Add additional water if necessary for desired spreading consistency. Spread mixture over bottom and up sides of cooled crust. Refrigerate. In medium saucepan, combine 1 cup margarine & brown sugar. Cook over medium heat unti margarine is smooth, stirring frequently. Refrigerate 10 minutes. In large bowl, beat peanut butter & brown sugar mixture at low speed until blended. Beat 1 minute at medium high speed. Add 12 oz whipped topping; beat 1 additional minute at low speed or until mixture is smooth & creamy. Pour over chocolate layer. Refrigerate. In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips & 1 Tbsp margarine with 2 Tsp milk & corn syrup, stirring constantly until smooth. Add additional milk if necessary for desired spreading consistency. Spoon & gently spread topping mixture evenly over filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to set topping. Garnish with whipped topping & peanuts. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Beat together cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Mix in peanut butter and milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
• Spoon into two 9 inch graham cracker pie shells; cover, and freeze until firm.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Have a nonstick standard 9-inch pie plate ready, or generously butter a 9-inch standard pie plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt. Add butter, stirring and mashing with a fork, until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
• Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and press them evenly into the bottom and sides until crust is about 1/4-inch thick. Bake crust until it looks dry and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer at medium-high speed. Set aside. In another large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla and salt on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Use a large rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Chill uncovered for at least 4 to 6 hours, until filling is set.
• Make the topping, if using: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and the butter together in short bursts, stirring often. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a small plastic bag, and cut a 1/8-inch hole in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the top to make a decorative pattern. (You may have some left over depending on your taste.) Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and peanut butter together until smooth. Fold in 1/2 of the whipped topping. Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
• Place the remaining whipped topping over the top of the peanut butter mixture and garnish with the peanut butter cups. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
