Delicious Frozen Peanut Butter Pie Recipe for Any Gathering

How thankful I am to be a part of my church – Boones Creek Bible Church. It’s a church filled with believers who love the Lord, His Word and have a burden for the lost. It’s not perfect, of course, and that is also true of the members (this one included!). But it’s the Gospel that keeps us united and has kept the doors open for all these years.

Yesterday we had the blessing of celebrating the church’s 69th anniversary – all of His grace. It was a sweet joy to hear the testimony of Jerry Partin, the son of the man who had a huge part in starting the church. He happens to be Willie Partin’s father. If you’ve attended camp at all at The Wilds, you know Willie. He was also in our service yesterday. He preached the message. Hebrews 12 was his text – It was a powerful reminder to keep our eyes on Christ and persevere. Oh, how easy it is for me to get my eyes on people and become disappointed, or to look at my struggles and get “weary and discouraged in my soul!” It’s only by looking at our Savior and knowing that He is greater and better that I can press on! I pray that truth encourages you, too!

We had a church dinner afterwards, of course, and it was delicious, and a sweet time of fellowship. I took a few dishes, two of which are favorites.

I made My Favorite Mac and Cheese – a perfect side dish for any pot luck! I also made a Frozen Peanut Butter Pie. If you’re a peanut butter fan, you’ll love this! You can purchase a pre-made graham cracker crust, but I love and prefer this recipe. It’s makes the pie extra special. This recipe makes TWO Peanut Butter pies and it’s, well, as easy as…pie to make! 😉

Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

2 Graham Cracker Crusts
Peanuts – 1 Cup, divided

8 oz pkg cream cheese – softened (I used 1/3 less fat)
1 Cup powdered sugar
1/2 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Milk
1 8oz container Cool Whip, thawed

Spread peanuts into bottom of crusts.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add powdered sugar and blend together.  Add peanut butter, then milk and blend.  Fold in Cool Whip.  Divide filling into prepared crusts.  Freeze until firm.
To serve, drizzle with chocolate sauce, a dollop of Cool Whip and more peanuts.

It was nice that I could make up this dessert early in the week and know it was ready. I also love having a frozen dessert in my freezer for surprise guests, or occasions when I don’t have time to make a dessert for company.

If you’re in my area and don’t have a church home, we’d love for you to come visit us at Boones Creek. There’s nothing like getting plugged into a church that loves the Lord and His Word! The fellowship and encouragement is God’s plan and He tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together! We need to be there and not miss out on that blessing! That’s better than anything you’ll eat at a church dinner, but still, please make the pie!
