Dark Chocolate Dreams Icebox Pie
Peanut Butter & Co.
INGREDIENTS Serves 8
30 chocolate wafer cookies
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) jar Dark Choco- late Dreams peanut butter
1 (8-ounce) container non- dairy whipped topping, thawed, plus additional for garnish (optional)
Chopped roasted salted pea- nuts, for garnish
Semisweet chocolate chips, for garnish
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the cookies in a food processor and process until finely ground crumbs are formed. Add the butter and salt and pulse until mixture is moist and sandy.
2. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, fold the peanut butter into the non-dairy topping until well combined. (The mixture will be thick and creamy, not fluffy.) Spread the mixture into the prepared crust, using a rubber spatula to smooth out the top.
4. Top the pie with the peanuts and chocolate chips before refrigerating at least 2 hours to set. Cut into 8 slices
and serve with additional whipped topping, if desired. Store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
