My sisters and I are about 3 years apart in age, and we have a lot in common…although there is one thing that ‘bonds’ us in a downright silly way…(to the point that we act like 5th graders when it’s around!) That one thing is Peanut Butter!!! I’m not really sure what started this ‘peanut butter’ phenomenon between the three of us, but my bet is that it had something to do with the rich chocolate peanut butter cake my mom used to make for our birthday when we were growing up!
Well…The ‘wonder years’ of eating a huge slice of cake (with endless amounts of saturated fat) eventually must come to an end… (lets consider the health of our hearts here people…not just calories!) However, the desire to have a traditional birthday celebration (and the cake that comes with it) never dies, no matter how old your turning! Which is why I created this simple, yet oh soooo satisfying Reese’s style frozen pie!
We just celebrated my sister’s 28th birthday on Sunday, and I made this pie for her. It turned out amazing… but I do have one important tip! I forgot to take the pie out of the freezer during dinner to soften a bit…so we ended up microwaving each piece of pie for about 10 seconds, which created more work than necessary! So, I would strongly recommended letting the pie sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving…and then you can sit back and ENJOY the peanut butter goodness! 
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy OR crunchy peanut butter (or Fitnutz Peanut Butter *See Note Below)
- 1 c Splenda (or Stevia or sweetener of choice to taste…I used about 10 packets of Stevia in mine)
- 1/4 c fat-free half & half (or skim milk)
- 8 oz. container Cool Whip Lite (or Fat Free Cool Whip)
- 1 pre-made Oreo pie crust OR reduced fat graham cracker pie crust
- 3 tbs Light Hershey’s syrup
*Optional Toppings: Reese’s Ice Cream toppers (a few Tbs), Reese’s miniature candies (a few crushed up), crushed peanuts, 100 calorie Nutter Butter cookies (crushed up), Reddi Whip
Note: I used Fitnutz Peanut Butter in mine and shaved 560 calories off this recipe! The only downfall is you have to buy it online. I use it in my protein shakes, desserts, etc. and I think it is SO tasty and worth trying!
Method:
- Mix all ingredients together until smooth (I used my Kitchen Aid mixer, but you could do this by hand) and fold in Cool Whip until well blended.
- Pour mixture into pie crust and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- Chill for at least 6 hours, (or overnight).
- Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes (to soften) and add topping of choice before serving.
Enjoy! Love Katie
