Chocolate Peanut Butter "Monkey Pie"
Ingredients
- Crust:
- 2 cups honey-wheat pretzels, finely crushed
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Peanut butter filling:
- 1 envelope European Mousse Pudding Mix (a vanilla pudding with chocolate flakes)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups peanut butter
- Chocolate banana layer:
- 12 ounces melted milk chocolate
- 1 chilled banana, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Instructions
* Heat oven to 350 degrees. To make pie crust, combine all crust ingredients in a bowl and press into a 9-inch pie pan.
* Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
* To make peanut butter filling, combine all of the filling ingredients and mix on high until light and fluffy. Chill while preparing chocolate banana layer.
* Melt chocolate in microwave and dip banana slices to coat. Allow to set up so chocolate coating starts to become firm (or briefly chill the dipped slices.) Reserve any remaining melted chocolate for a drizzle design garnish.
* To assemble pie, line bottom of the prepared pie shell with a layer of the peanut butter cream filling, then chocolate bananas, (reserving one or two to use as a garnish on top, if desired), then add remaining filling and add garnish.
* Dried banana chips can also be used for garnish, with a drizzle of any of the remaining melted chocolate.
Makes 8 slices.
