Fudgy Peanut Butter Pie

Image
I made this dessert for my hubby for Valentine's Day yesterday and thought I'd share it with you all. He said it tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup pie :) You start with a graham cracker crust. Feel free to make your own. I didn't :) Next you melt some chocolate and spread it in the crust and up the sides a bit. (ps. I mixed in pb chips with my chocolate, hehe). Then put it in the freezer while we do the rest. After this you'll mix up some PB, butter, and sugar (don't worry, the recipe is below). After mixing well you'll add some Ricotta and mix some more. Oh Ricotta, you are a glorious and multifaceted cheese, it is true. I took the PB/butter/sugar and Ricotta mixture out of the mixing bowl so I could use the mixer for the next step...making whipped cream. It's easier to make whipped cream with a cold bowl so after washing I put it on my porch for a minute. Twin Brook Creamery is a local creamery that sells their stuff in real glass bottles!
