This past weekend I participated in a Cook-Off on my friends team.  I had never competed in a cook-off so it was a lot of fun but a lot more work then I expected!  I competed in the Margaritas and Dessert sections.  For the margaritas I made a Cherry Limeade Margarita that didn’t win, but for the Dessert I made a No Bake Peanut Butter Pie and I ended up winning 3rd Place!  I know this is not what everyone would want but for me it was exciting since this was my very first cook-off! 

 This is a delicious pie that everyone will love!  It is rich and light all at the same time!  Plus I can say its reward winning now!  Plus who can pass up an easy no bake recipe!

Graham Cracker Crust

1. 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
2. 2 Tablespoons sugar
3. 6 Tablespoons(3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Crunch Layer

1. 4 ounces milk chocolate
2. 2.5 ounces(1/2 cup) honey roasted peanuts, rough chopped

Peanut Butter Filling

1. 13.5 ounces(1.5 cups) peanut butter
2. 12 ounces cream cheese
3. 1.5 cups heavy cream
4. 1.5 cups powdered sugar
5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Garnish

1. Additional 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts, rough chopped

Graham Cracker Crust

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter together.
2. Press into 9" pie pan.
3. Chill till firm. I'd give it a good hour.

Chocolate Crunch Layer

1. Melt milk chocolate in microwave in 30 second increments till melted.
2. Spread evenly on chilled graham cracker crust. You want to do this fast so you don't mess up the crust.
3. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of chocolate and refrigerate so chocolate can harden.

Peanut Butter Filling

1. Cream peanut butter and cream cheese till smooth slowly adding in 1 cup of the powdered sugar.
2. Add vanilla extract and continue to mix till everything is combined. I used a hand mixer for this.
3. In separate bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining half cup powdered sugar till stiff.
4. Gently fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture and pour mixture into pie plate smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate.

Garnish

1. Sprinkle with peanuts and a dollop of whipped cream.

 The first step was making the pie crust so that it would be able to chill!

I then started on the Peanut Butter Filling.  It was very thick so you definitely want to use a mixer!

I then made the whipped cream mixture and folded it into the peanut butter mixture!

I then put this over the chocolate and peanut layer and smoothed it out.  I added some of the extra honey roasted peanuts to the top for garnish.  You can also add a dark chocolate drizzle or whipped cream!

 This pie is so delicious and if you are a peanut butter lover you will not be able to resist it!  Plus you can tell all your friends that it’s award winning even if it was just a little cook-off!
