what's cooking wednesday - peanut butter & fudge swirl pie

So I'm back and I've even been cooking a little bit. I actually made this for our family's father's day dinner, but in the end I stayed home with an unwell MyPie while Mike and the Abster took off with the dessert for dinner. And since the pie plate came back with nary a crumb in it, I'd say it was a hit.



Peanut Butter & Fudge Swirl Pie

1 1/4 cup oreo baking crumbs
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 pkg (250g) brick cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups thawed cool whip
3 tbsp chocolate fudge dessert topping

Mix the crumbs and melted margarine together and press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Beat cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter together in a large bowl with a mixer until well blended. Gently stir in the cool whip until blended. Spoon the filling into the crust, drizzle with fudge topping. Swirl gently with a knife. Refrigerate for four hours or until firm.

Recipe Notes: Well like I said, not a crumb came home, so I guess this was a winner. This is a great summer dessert because it requires no baking. It's even quicker and easier if you use a pre-made crust. I will certainly make this again. If I was going to use my own pie plate I think I'd double everything, it looked a little wimpy in my deeper dish pie plate.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. *All front page links will be deleted!* Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
