Nutter Butter Chocolate Cream Pie

Nutter Butter Chocolate Cream Pie - Chocolate Pie with a Nutter Butter Crust

Talk about good!  This pie is about as good as it gets!  I’ve been wanting to try this recipe ever since I made the Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Pie last month.  I thought that nothing could be better than a peanut butter and chocolate pie.  I was right; the pie was a huge hit.  The filling is perfectly chocolate – just enough and not too rich.  This is the kind of pie that will call to you from the fridge “Come eat me!” (or at least that is what it does to me).  I left the pie at my parents house so I wasn’t tempted to over indulge – they were!

The recipe for the chocolate cream filling came from my Mom’s old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook – you know,  the red and white checked one.  It is so easy to make and tastes amazing.  I like to top my pie with whipped cream (a la Johnny Ray’s), but feel free to top it with meringue.

In saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in milk and chocolate. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir small amount of hot mixture into yolks; immediately return to hot mixture; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Pour into cooled crust.

For whipped cream, put cream, sugar and vanilla your mixer bowl (it is best to chill it first).  Whisk until soft peaks form.  Spread on top of chocolate cream.

  1. Goodness does that look good!! And the crust is over the top – I know I'd love this.

  2. I'm going to talk to the blog police about this – it has to be illegal to post something so tempting.

  3. Oh, I know that Betty Crocker book you mean. This is an awesome looking pie! Peanut butter and chocolate? YES please! I would do whipped cream as well, no need for a meringue to get in the way of this one;)
