FROZEN KEY LIME PIE

We're having a "heat wave" here in Portland. Yep, it's been in the 80's. So this recipe from Favorites sounded like the perfect dessert for a Sunday evening on the patio.

Crust

• 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Mix together and press into 9"springform pan or Demarle sponge cake mold. Freeze for 15 minutes.

Filling

• 1 pint lime sherbet
• 1 pint Haagen-Dazs zesty lemon sorbet
• 1 pint vanilla frozen yogurt
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Soften and mix together in mixer. (BTW, when it says soften, you may want to listen, I permanently bent/broke/destroyed one of the beaters on my mixer by trying to do it when it wasn't so softish) Spoon into crust.

Topping

• 1/4 cup toasted coconut
• fresh lime slices

Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sliced limes and if you are me a little whip cream on top.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Three new recipes I've had/tried this summer that you should probably drop everything you are doing for and make immediately!

First...Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie...courtesy of the Pioneer Woman

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Crust:
25 Oreos
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Crush the Oreos until they’re fine crumbs. Pour melted butter over the top and stir with a fork to combine. Press into pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes, or until set.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 8-ounce package softened cream cheese
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 8-ounce package Cool Whip, thawed

Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed Cool Whip and beat mixture until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.

Pour filling into crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

The Pioneer Woman says it's rich and cut small slices, I say WHATEVER!
