Peanut Butter Cream Pie

-

Nothing new, nothing complicated

Just Creamy and Delicious!

Those two words usually also mean it's gonna be good and I'm gonna love it!
My Mom shared a little trick with me that also adds the word fluffy to this combo yet.
She uses half cornstarch and half clear-jel (the cook type, not the instant stuff).

Perfect!

You will need:
1 baked pie shell 9"

For the Basic Vanilla Pudding:
4 cups 2% milk, divided
4 Tablespoons butter
½ cup white sugar
4 egg yolks
3 Tablespoons (serving spoon size) Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons (serving spoon size) Clear-jel
1 teaspoon clear vanilla
½ teaspoon salt

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add 3 cups milk and sprinkle sugar evenly over milk. Place remaining cup of milk and the rest of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into milk mixture and stir
constantly over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. When ready to fill the pie crust whip the pudding with a hand mixer and add desired amount of Cool Whip to fluff it up.

For the Crumbs:
¾ cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter
Mix together with a fork until small crumbs are formed.

Place a little more than half of the crumbs in the bottom of a baked pie shell.

Fill crust with Vanilla Pudding. Sprinkle more crumbs over this and top with cool whip or whipped cream. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs.

Best served the day it is assembled.

ENJOY!!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
