Salted Peanut Slab Pie Recipes

SALTED PEANUT SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Remove pie crusts from pouches. On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack crusts on top of the other. Roll to 17x12-inch rectangle. Fit crust into pan, smoothing crust on bottom and pressing firmly into corners and sides. Fold extra crust up and over edges of pan. Flute or crimp edges.
• In large bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, caramel topping, melted butter and vanilla with whisk until well blended. Stir in peanuts. Pour mixture into pan; spread evenly over bottom of pan.
• Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Serve pieces with whipped cream.

SALTED PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• For the caramel sauce: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the sugar to a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat and let the sugar melt without stirring. Continue to cook until the sugar turns a deep brown color around the edges, but is still clear in some places, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn off. Stir, making sure all the sugar has melted. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring the entire time, and being careful because the sugar is very hot and will probably splatter. If the caramel sauce seizes up, just return it to the heat and stir until all the lumps dissolve. Stir in the salt and set aside to cool.
• For the crust: Add the pretzels and graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until ground. Drizzle in the melter butter and pulse to evenly coat. Transfer the pretzel mixture to a bowl and pour in 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Stir to combine and press into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the filling: Whip the sugar and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until evenly combined. Add the cream and continue to whip until smooth and light. Add the peanut butter and mix until the filling is creamy and well combined. Add the filling evenly to the cooled crust.
• For the garnish: Whip the heavy cream and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy and the cream holds the shape of the whisk. Spoon it evenly over the filling. Refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes or until ready to serve. Drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce and sprinkle peanuts on top just before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER-BANANA SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, place cookie mix. Add softened butter; mix with pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly and butter is blended (do not overmix). Press in bottom and up sides of pan.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and set in center. Cool 30 minutes.
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup peanut butter and the powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, scraping down side of bowl frequently. Beat in 2 cups of the whipped topping.
• Place 2 1/2 cups banana slices in single layer over baked crust. Drop cream cheese mixture by spoonfuls over banana layer; spread evenly over top. Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls over cream cheese layer; spread evenly. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.
• When ready to serve, in small microwavable bowl, microwave 1/4 cup peanut butter uncovered on High in 15-second increments until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle warm peanut butter on pie; top with 1 cup banana slices. Loosely cover and refrigerate any remaining pieces.

DECADENT PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• Beat together 1 cup peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium, until well combined. Gently mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of hot fudge topping into the corner of a resealable plastic bag. Microwave remaining topping, on HIGH (100% topping), for 1 minute. Stir. Spread topping over pie, covering entire peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until set. Spread remaining whipped topping (1 1/2 cups), over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
• Cut a small corner from bag containing topping. Squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pie. Place remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter in a resealable food storage bag; cut bag corner and squeeze to drizzle in opposite direction from topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
