A Recipe for
Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie
He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise. |
| Henry David Thoreau |
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |
| Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias |

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
When women are depressed, they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. |

For crust: Mix all ingredients in 9-inch round pie pan. Press mixture
firmly into bottom and up sides of pan. Freeze while preparing peanut
butter filling.
For filling: Using electric mixer, beat peanut butter, cream cheese,
1/2 c sugar and melted butter in large bowl. Using clean dry beaters,
beat cream with remaining 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla in medium bowl
until peaks form. Stir 1/4 of cream into peanut butter mixture, then
fold in remaining cream (mixture will be thick). Spoon into prepared
crust. Refrigerate until firm.
For glaze: Bring cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Reduce heat
to low. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Cool glaze
slightly; pour over filling. Tilt pan, coating top completely.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cut into wedges to serve. Serves 8.
For the success of this recipe, use a creamy-style peanut butter; do
not use an unsweetened freshly ground one.
