1970’s Style Food from the Archives
Simple, easy, and delicious. This started out as a Cooking Light recipe but I modified it by using a store-bought shell and bumping some ingredients up from low fat. Decadent but so much better:) You could toss any version of cheeses in here, low-fat, nonfat or regular, including neufatel as a sub for cream cheese. Buy double shells because the cream cheese and the mid-size ricotta packages are just the right size to double up and make 2.
Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup ricotta
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter Chunky is best! Can add more for more flavor
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup cool whip
- 1 banana sliced
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels any chocolate will do
- 1 graham cracker pie crust Or chocolate works great too.
Instructions
- Combine cheeses in bowl and mix. Add powdered sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and mix. Fold in cool whip.
- Arrange banana slices on bottomof the pan and pour peanut butter mix over it.
- Melt chocolate in a baggie in hot water, cut off a corner and drizzle over the pie.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temp before serving.
Notes
Since the ricotta and cream cheese come in perfect size package for 2 pies I always make 2, the exact measures don’t really matter so just divide full packages in half.
