Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie (You want pie with that?)

Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie
January 1, 2009:
I am giving up sweets!
Only health food for me!!!
I will use this sword to block all desserts!

For this month's You Want Pie with That? Nic of Bakeologie and Carrie of Cooking With Carrie selected the theme: "Resolution Breaker Pie."

Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie
I made a Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie that is now renamed Fat-Bottom Pie!
You can find the recipe here on Epicurious.

Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie
It has a graham cracker crust, thick layer of chocolate ganache and a peanut butter mouse. I made 1/4 the recipe and used peanut butter (creamy) instead of melting peanut butter chips.

Screw those resolutions!!!
I need sugar, peanut butter, chocolate and butter!!!

My little 3-inch friend is channeling me!

Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Pie
I'm so okay with my fat-bottom. Oh well, I'll start my new years resolutions again on Chinese New Year...

or the Fat-Bottom Peanut Butter Goodness Pie

Check out the other You Want Pies with That? bakers! And join us! Next month, I get to choose the theme because I won last month's Holiday Pie Theme with my Partridge in a Pear Tart. Very exciting!

    Wow, that looks really decadent! Love the little lego man :) I would never be able to stick with a resolution that banned sweets!

    Oooh momma - just pass the pie this way and I won't be forced to use my sword! That looks like it should be illegal. Yummy!

    You're not really giving up sweets for the new year, are you?

    To all those who think I might actually consider "no sweets" a new years resolution....No way! :) The most I would do is a "no sweets" on the third Wednesday of even number months... :)

    And here I was, thinking I would buy a toy cow to keep in the kitchen as a little reminder for myself...I missed your partidge in a pear tart, so I'm glad I had another chance to see it.
    Wishing you a happy (and sweet-filled) new year!

    There's no way you can go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. Yummmmm
    That said, I don't keep peanut butter cups in the house for obvious reasons.

    Love the little guy, but it would take a whole army of them to keep me away from that pie. Chocolate and peanut butter, oh yeah.

    If that pie were anywhere near me, I'd dive into it also! Love the Playmobil friend. And great call on using the real peanut butter. It's so much better than chips.

    Yeah, that would just make my fat bottom even fatter. But it's so pretty!

    Thanks for this delightful idea, and for such a delicious blog! I've never tried making a pie with peanut butter before, but I'm pretty sure it can only be a hit... What I do to feel less guilty about eating such decadent desserts is have them instead of a proper lunch or dinner. You know, just once a week.

    I'M not at home right now and I'm going crazy because I can't make this right now. Even a spoonful of peanut butter would help quell the craving, but I have nothing and this sounds sooooo good!

    HA! Too cute! I think you'll win again this month, with the help of your little Lego friend. The tart looks fabulous--that huge pile of PB mousse is calling to me right now. But there's no shame in indulging, after all...
