So, our commemoration of Pi Day this year was not in line with the momentous occasion it was. Being the Pi Day of the Century, Cat advised us that we should be celebrating on 3-14-15 at precisely 9:26. Since I didn't know what in the world kind of celebration we would have at 9:26 am and my kids all beg to go to bed if we keep them up past 9 pm, we resorted to our default tradition of eating Pizza Pie and Dessert Pie. This year, though, I had The Bigs make their own individual pizzas, which was fun. And we had our favorite dessert pie (peanut butter fudge - recipe below if you're interested). Good times.
Peanut Butter & Fudge Swirl Pie
1/2 c. Sugar
1/4 c. Creamy peanut butter
2 c. thawed Cool Whip (or 1 cup whipping cream, whipped up good)
1 Oreo pie crust (the brand matters - we've tried other brands and they're really not as good)
1/4 c. Hot fudge ice cream topping (I've also used a small amount of melted chocolate chips)
Beat cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in Cool Whip until blended. Spoon into crust and drizzle with fudge topping. Swirl gently with knife. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
Yum! I LOVE pies of all kinds, even pi's.
