Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 envelope unflavored Jello
- 3/4 cup water cold
- 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping thawed
- 1 chocolate cookie crumb pie crust ready-made
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, cook chocolate chips and oil until chocolate melts (do not burn). Remove from heat; set aside. In another small saucepan, mix gelatin and water; let stand for 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat; set aside. In a large mixer bowl at medium-high speed, beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, peanut butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture. Place bowl of peanut butter mixture in a larger bowl which contains cold water and ice. Stir peanut butter mixture until it mounds when dropped from a spoon. Remove bowl from ice water. Fold in whipped topping. Mound into pie crust, making a swirl in the center. Pipe or drizzle with reserved chocolate mixture. Chill overnight to develop flavor before serving.
