chocolate peanut butter pie with cookie crust

Posted on: May 1st, 2012 by Two Tiny Kitchens 7 Comments

Baked was one of the first bakeries I tried when we moved to Brooklyn, and it remains a favorite, from their Deep Dark Brownie to their Sweet & Salty Cake. They come up with the best flavor combos, so it’s no surprise that this peanut butter & cream cheese & hot fudge pie was thought up by Baked. For me, making this pie was a no-brainer: Whenever peanut butter and cream cheese come together, it’s a winning combo (like these peanut butter banana cupcakes).

Be forewarned, this pie is pretty decadent. Personally, that’s what drew me in, but if you tend to be easily overwhelmed by rich desserts, you may want to try skipping the chocolate layer between the crust and the peanut butter, or halving the recipe and making it in a tart pan.   (more…)

Have you ever had white chocolate melted into your cookie dough before?  Because I haven’t, and it was amazing.  I absolutely love the texture of these cookies – moist and chewy, but also almost crumbly.  I hope I’m using the right descriptive words.  Let me just say that these are genuinely delicious and a new favorite.  Another fabulous salty/sweet combo, sure to satisfy both cravings.  Make them nice and big, and then have two or three with lots of milk on a Sunday afternoon.  That’s what I just did, and I’m a happy, happy girl.

Salty and sweet.  Crunchy and melt-in-your-mouth.   Peanut butter and chocolate.  Dangerous and delicious (you know what I mean).  One little bite, so much to experience.  Why did I wait so long to give these a try??  A perfect treat to share with a large group of people that you love a whole lot, or to share with yourself on a self-indulgent sweats and sofa  sorta day.  Yum and yum.  (more…)

Wow, it’s been such a long time!  We took a family vacation to the Southern Hemisphere (Australia and New Zealand to be exact) for some sun this winter.  Oh how I love hotels!   No dishes, no vacuuming, not even bed making if you don’t feel like it.  But, on the other hand, no kitchen aids or butter and brown sugar.  They did have some amazing bakeries down under, and we managed to get along just fine on lambingtons and lots of Cadbury chocolate.  But once we returned I went straight for this peanut butter and chocolate recipe.  What a great way to make a comeback!!  Rich, gooey, and delicious…pure baking decadence in every way.  In my opinion they’re the perfect marriage of brownie and cookie.  So completely satisfying.  (Oh, did I mention that they’re easy too?)
