Specialty Recipe

Chocolate Peanut Mousse Pie

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups finely crushed chocolate cookies

4 Tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup butter

3-1/2 cups whipping cream

4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

1 cup chopped roasted peanuts

1-1/3 cups peanut butter-flavored chips

Combine cookie crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter; toss to combine. Press onto bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 5 minutes; cool.

Heat and stir 3/4 cup of the whipping cream and chocolate over low heat until smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup of the nuts. Pour 1/2 the chocolate mixture over the crust. Place in a freezer for about 20 minutes or until set, then transfer to the refrigerator. Cover and chill the remaining chocolate mixture.

Meanwhile, heat and stir 1 cup of the whipping cream and peanut butter pieces until smooth. Cover and chill about 30 minutes or until cool but not stiff, stirring occasionally.

Beat remaining 2 cups whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold about 1/3 of the whipping cream into the peanut butter mixture; gently fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon 2-1/2 cups of the mixture over chocolate mixture in crust. Place in freezer about 15 minutes or until set. Cover and chill remaining peanut butter mixture.

Spread remaining chocolate mixture over peanut butter mixture. Pipe or spoon remaining peanut butter mixture around the edge of the pie. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. (It is really better if you chill it longer.) Garnish with remaining peanuts.

Serves: 12 to 16
