Creamy Peanut Butter Pie
This is one of those recipes where I don't feel it's necessary to give you a little story before the recipe. It's peanut butter pie. Do you REALLY care what this reminds me of, why I made it, or some long story about where it originated from? No. You want a fork. And you want some pie. And I totally get it.
However- if you do care, let me be honest- there is no long story. My mom asked me to bring a peanut butter dessert to Christmas and this was suggested to me. Boy oh boy am I glad it was suggested because it was delicious. It was also my first time making homemade whipped cream. Surprising, right? I'll never buy a can again, it's just SO good homemade. Even John liked it and he isn't a whipped cream kind of guy. So yeah- go get the ingredients and get to work. Then send me a piece.
