Ingredients
- 2 cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs (about 15 sheets)(Bob uses regular graham cracker crumbs)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped honey-roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 (4-oz.) semisweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
- 2 cups whipping cream, divided
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large bananas, sliced
- Toppings: sweetened whipped cream, chocolate syrup, chopped honey-roasted peanuts
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together first 3 ingredients;
firmly press on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased
9-inch pie plate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove
from oven to a wire rack, and cool completely (about 30 minutes).
2. Microwave chocolate and 1/2 cup whipping cream in a small
microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50% power) 1 1/2 minutes or until
chocolate is almost melted, stirring at 30-second intervals. Whisk until
chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. (Do not overheat.) Spoon
chocolate mixture into prepared crust.
3. Beat cream cheese, next 2 ingredients, and 1/4 cup whipping cream
at medium speed with an electric mixer until mixture is light and
fluffy.
4. Beat vanilla and remaining 1 1/4 cups whipping cream at high speed
until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third whipped cream mixture into
peanut butter mixture to loosen; fold in remaining whipped cream
mixture.
5. Arrange banana slices over chocolate mixture in crust. Spread
peanut butter mixture over bananas. Cover and chill 8 hours. Serve pie
with desired toppings.
