Jimmy Carters Peanut Butter Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Pulse the graham crackers and peanuts in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared crust with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon; set aside until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to use. In another bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined, then fold in the rest. Spoon into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with shaved chocolate before serving.

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter or margarine. Press firmly into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
• Mix the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Stir in 2 cups of the whipped topping and the confectioners' sugar. Pour mixture over crust.
• Mix the pudding mixes and milk together, and pour over peanut butter layer. Spread remaining whipped topping on top. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and shaved chocolate. Chill.

Steps:

• Blend the corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and pour into the unbaked crust.
• Bake in a 400°F oven 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F and continue baking 30 to 35 minutes more.
• The center should still be "wiggly" when removed from the oven, but it will set as the pie cools.
• Allow to cool completely before serving.
• Garnish with chocolate Cool Whip and drizzle of chocolate syrup for a fancier presentation.

Steps:

• First Layer: Combine flour, margarine and peanuts and blend like pie crust.
• Press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan and bake 20 minutes at 350°F (Note: It takes a little work to make the crust cover the whole bottom, but it does and its worth it!).
• Cool.
• Second Layer: Blend all second layer ingredients together and pour carefully on top of first layer.
• Spread to even it out.
• Third Layer: Blend third layer ingredients and pour on top of second layer.
• Let pudding set up a little before putting fourth layer on.
• Fourth Layer: Put remainder of Cool Whip on top and garnish with the shaved chocolate and peanuts.
