and now for another...

Thanksgiving pie that is. Certainly not Alice Waters approved, this one is in the Sandra Lee vein: peanut butter pie with pre-baked crust. Mostly mixing, and fairly excellent in the way that extra creamy peanut butter in pie crust could not be anything but -- excellent.



1 (8oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 tbs butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 cooked pie crust

Whip cream and set aside. Mix together cheese, peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gently fold in whipped cream, a third at a time until combined. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate.
