Mini Peanut Butter Pies Recipes

MINIATURE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY PIES

Steps:

• Heat 2 3/4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, and then gradually whisk the egg mixture into the heated milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl and cool slightly, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
• Meanwhile, place the pie crusts on a baking sheet or large platter. Place 2 teaspoons of the fruit jelly on the bottom of each pie crust. Smooth out slightly with the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula. Evenly divide the slightly cooled pudding among the pie crusts. Use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to spread the pudding to the edges of the pie crusts. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of each pie and chill until set, at least 4 hours.
• Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer to medium to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble, whisk the remaining fruit jelly with 2 teaspoons water until smooth. Place a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pie, using the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of the whipped cream. Spoon a small amount of jelly into the well and garnish with some roasted peanuts.

MINI CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER PIES

• Bake 7 minutes. Cool cups in pan 15 minutes. Meanwhile, fold whipped topping into pudding.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon pudding mixture into each cooled cup. Top each with whipped topping; drizzle each with melted peanut butter. Serve immediately.

MINI OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER CREAM PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir together peanut butter cookie mix, oil, 1 tablespoon of the water and 1 of the eggs until dough forms.
• In another bowl, stir together oatmeal cookie mix, butter, remaining 1 tablespoon water and remaining egg until dough forms.
• Using small (2-teaspoon size) cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets (make 36 peanut butter cookies and 36 oatmeal cookies). Make sure cookies are uniform in size and DO NOT flatten peanut butter dough with a fork.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown and edges are set. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks; cool completely.
• For each cookie pie, spread about 1 tablespoon frosting on bottom of 1 peanut butter cookie. Top with 1 oatmeal cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

MINI CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Line a 12 count regular size muffin tin with cupcake liners. Add graham cracker crust ingredients to food processor and blend to a fine crumble. Divide crust mixture between the 12 liners (about a heaping tablespoon each) and press into the bottom of the liners. Bake for 5-7n minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside. Add heavy cream to a large mixing bowl and beat with a handheld mixer on high until firm peaks form. Set aside. In a separate bowl, using the same beaters, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, toffee bits, vanilla and salt and beat until smooth (it will be thick). Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the peanut butter-cream cheese mixture with a spatula until completely blended. Spoon peanut butter pie filling into muffin tins (they will fill to the top). Freeze for at least one hour. Meanwhile, prepare chocolate ganache by microwaving heavy cream for approximately 90 seconds until hot but not boiling. Add chocolate and let sit one minute then whisk vigorously until smooth. Let cool to barely warm, stirring occasionally (it will thicken as it cools). Spoon the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter cups and spread with the back of a spoon (its ok if some spreads over the edges). To garnish, melt peanut butter and drizzle over mini pies (I add my peanut butter to a ziploc bag and snip the corner), sprinkle with salted peanuts and mini chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups. Freeze for at least 4 hours up to 7 days. (see notes) When ready to serve, serve immediately after removing from the freezer as the mini pies soften quickly. NOTES: When to garnish: You can garnish your pies either after you have spooned the ganache over the pies and the chocolate has set or freeze the pies after the ganache, then garnish and freeze again.
