Chocolate Pie. Vegan Peanut Butter Cream Pie. The following is a guest article written by Alix Radford, of CuteandDelicious.com. I’m here to introduce you to an awesome pie that is super-easy to make and wonderfully delicious. This peanut butter cream pie is a lovely balance of a flaky crust, a sweet peanut-butter filling, and a fluffy coconut-cream topping. It takes a bit of advanced preparation but nothing more than putting a few cans of coconut milk in the fridge the night before. You’ll want to make sure that you use the full-fat coconut milk, as this is what makes the dense coconut cream topping. Let’s start with the crust, shall we? Vegan Pastry Crust 1 1/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup nondairy butter 2-3 Tbsp. ice water Mix the flour and the salt together. Next, we’ll put together the filling. As for the peanut butter, choose whichever type you like best.

OK, now let’s get to that pie-making! Pie Filling 3 cans coconut milk 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 3 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup peanut butter Enjoy! Poptarts-on-a-Stick and Bakerella's New Book. With a bucket full of fresh cherries and a package of premade pie crust in the fridge, my kids and I had plans to make a batch of Homemade Cherry Poptarts. But, my clever 7-year-old, Alyssa, had an even better idea, “How ’bout we make little poptarts and put them on a stick like Cinderella?” ‘Cinderella’ here isn’t the fairy tale princess, it’s my Alyssa’s favorite blogger (and one of mine)–the delightsome Angie Dudley of Bakerella–creator of the original cupcake pop, and author of the new book Cake Pops . Bakerella’s original idea for a cupcake-on-a-stick was an overnight sensation, landing her a guest spot on the Martha Stewart Show, and a mulitude of other incredible opportunities to collaborate with top-notch companies.

It’s no wonder. Bakerella has a remarkable ability to create adorable ideas using everyday items: mini M&M’s, Necco Wafers, colored sprinkles. Which is exactly what our family thought last week of our Bakerella-Inspired PopTart Pops. Favorite page in your book? Banoffolicious. I’m not really much of a dessert person. By the time I have finished a meal I rarely have room for something sweet.

I don’t bake, partly because I don’t like measuring out ingredients to precise quantities and I don’t have the patience. But at times, I do like to try my hand at something a little less taxing at the same time as producing something pretty tasty — I’m lazy like that. A couple of months ago I was wasting away my work day by browsing my friends’ status messages on Facebook and I came across one of my friends who I went to school with in England, it read “KT is baking her famous £20 banoffee pie!”

I was taken back to my favourite childhood dessert, banoffee pie. So amazing. Now, I know what you’re asking, what the hell is a banoffee pie? Simply, a banoffee pie is a British pudding consisting of bananas, cream, condensed milk and sugar on a pastry or crust base. Slice four of the bananas and layer them in the crust base, two layers should be enough. Radishes and Rhubarb: Banana Cream Pie. This post is for my husband. My husband is devoted to Banana Cream Pie. It is far and away his favourite dessert, over chocolate in any form.

When I met him I seriously questioned whether I could make a lifelong commitment to someone who is only mildly interested in chocolate. He baffled me when he told me he did not like chocolate ice cream and his attitude towards chocolate cake is lukewarm. But, I have come to accept this about him and being a good wife, I try to support him. The place was near my Grandparent’s house so when we were there for a visit I decided we should find this restaurant so that hubby could try the pie. But the good news is, I make a pretty good Banana Cream Pie and I make it just the way he likes it, with a graham cracker crust and whipped cream instead of meringue. The last time I made it I dressed it up a bit for a dinner party, so I used a tart form. Banana Cream Pie for the crust: 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers 1/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup butter, melted.

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie | RecipeGirl.com - StumbleUpon. Nutter Butter- Peanut Butter Pie If you hadn’t heard already, our food blogging friend Jennie lost her husband Mikey last week. It was a sudden and unexpected loss. The kind of loss that is unfair in every way. In the midst of grieving for her lost love, she asked the world to make a peanut butter pie (Mikey’s favorite) and share it with someone they love. In response, the world made pies. So here’s my Peanut Butter Pie, my tribute to Mikey and love to Jennie and her family, that I was able to share with my own family.

I went with a Nutter Butter crust. If you’re not familiar with Nutter Butters- they’re pretty much just like an Oreo… with peanut butter cookie and peanut butter cream filling. As much as we love Nutter Butters, they had to be smashed into bits for the crust. This is a no-bake, perfect-for-summer kind of pie. A nice layer of hot fudge is then spooned on top. Then it’s topped with the peanut butter cream filling… …and smoothed on top.
