Again, I used the oreo cremes instead of part of the cream cheese, and I used 3 overripe (and thus rather wet) mashed bananas instead of the peanut butter, and added a bit of lemon juice. I also used only a cup of sugar. I used some ground Saigon cinnamon as a topping.<br /><br />After being in the refrigerator overnight, the pie was still pretty soft, so I stuck it in the freezer, and it came out as a quite good ice cream pie. My husband says it has a more &quot;mature&quot; flavor than the peanut butter.<br /><br />Thanks you for inspiring me to bake such tasty desserts!Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348881315663830662.post-33691370180510156742010-08-02T14:12:52.918-07:002010-08-02T14:12:52.918-07:00I&#39;ve been eyeing this pie for a few months before I finally got all the ingredients together to make it (as well as the springform pans).<br /><br />I ended up switching out the reserved filling from the oreos with one of the packs of cream cheese, and only used about 4/5 of a cup of sugar in the mix (I actually ran out, though after using the specified amount in the crust), and my husband still said it was ridiculously sweet!<br /><br />That said, it&#39;s a great pie. This is actually the first pie I&#39;ve made from scratch, and I was quite pleased. I think I&#39;m going to try a banana version of this next!Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348881315663830662.post-78503225299585599852009-08-13T07:57:23.080-07:002009-08-13T07:57:23.080-07:00Wow, that looks absolutely delicious!

It stays softer longer, especially if you top it within 2 hours of serving it.Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020962633016042415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348881315663830662.post-774482503654306692008-05-21T07:16:00.000-07:002008-05-21T07:16:00.000-07:00My friend loves PB and chocolate too and I have been looking for something to make for her.

Delicious, indeed. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I agree about the chocolate topping, though -- it is hard to cut. And I think there's a bit too much Oreo crust. It's pretty thick.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, it's nice. It reminds me of the choc-pb pie I used to order in the local restaurant all the time as a kid. But if someone's going to make it, beware: it's rich (of course).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348881315663830662.post-32688589246499634392008-03-07T13:23:00.000-08:002008-03-07T13:23:00.000-08:00I'm drooling just looking and reading the ingredient list.

I always get such a rush knowing someone out there is reading my blog :-)<BR/><BR/>Cutting it was a bit of an er, challenge. However, I think if I were to make it again I would either use chocolate curls, mini chocolate chips, or I'd make the same big chocolate topper again but on top of waxed paper. After it got hard, I'd break it up into slabs and finally put it on top of the pie.<BR/><BR/>Your idea would work too, I think. The main thing is that the filling is on the soft side and drizzing chocolate syrup on top will probably cause the filling to get runny. If you go that route, I'd suggest doing it tableside. I'd also suggest either making the syrup or buying one that's not just corn syrup based. <BR/><BR/>Here's an easy chocolate syrup recipe from Epicurious:<BR/><BR/>1 cup water<BR/>1/2 cup sugar<BR/>2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process<BR/>1/4 teaspoon salt<BR/>1 teaspoon vanilla <BR/><BR/>Bring water and sugar to a boil, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in cocoa and salt and simmer, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla, then cool (syrup will continue to thicken as it cools). <BR/><BR/>I hope that helps!<BR/>JuliaJuliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17286364613015048949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348881315663830662.post-7236402761146142512008-02-28T16:26:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:26:00.000-08:00How well does the chocolate top cut?
