Peanut Butter Pie – easy and quick, with a texture that melts in your mouth.
Don't LOSE This Recipe
Ingredients:
• 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• One 8.8-ounce pack of Biscoff cookies (alternatively, use 16 graham cracker sheets)
• 1 cup of honey-roasted peanuts, separated into two portions
• ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, divided
• 1 2/3 cups (about 15 ounces) of chunky peanut butter, ideally Skippy Super Chunk
• 8 ounces of full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup of powdered sugar
• 1 ½ cups of cold heavy cream
-----------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1• Melt the butter: Place 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second bursts until melted, about 45 seconds. (Alternatively, melt it on the stovetop.)
2• Prepare the crust: Break 1 (8.8-ounce) package of Biscoff cookies or 16 graham cracker sheets into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
3• Add ½ cup honey-roasted peanuts and pulse 4 times for about 2 seconds each, to coarsely chop the peanuts. Add the melted butter and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, then pulse until everything is combined and the peanuts are in smaller pieces.
4• Form the crust: Transfer the mixture to a 9 ½-inch deep-dish pie plate. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up. While it chills, clean the food processor bowl.
5• Prepare the filling: Coarsely chop the remaining ½ cup honey-roasted peanuts for garnish. In the clean food processor, combine 1 2/3 cups chunky peanut butter, 8 ounces cream cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1 ½ cups cold heavy cream and process until thick and smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to overprocess.
6• Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top.
7• Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight until firm.

This casserole keeps it simple—sweet potatoes with a hint of maple syrup and a crunchy pistachio topping. Just the right balance of flavor and texture!

Ingrédients:
Sweet Potatoes:
• 2 ½ pounds of sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• A pinch of salt (for boiling)
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup buttermilk
• ⅓ cup whole milk
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• A dash of ground allspice
• A dash of cayenne pepper
Pistachio Topping:
• ½ cup roasted, salted pistachios, finely chopped
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ⅓ cup plain flour
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-----------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1• Prepare the oven: Preheat it to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2 ½-quart casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking.
2• Cook the sweet potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Season the water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the sweet potatoes are soft and easy to pierce with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain the water and return the sweet potatoes to the pot. Mash them together with 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth.
3• Combine the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, salt, allspice, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Slowly fold in the mashed sweet potatoes, starting with a small amount to temper the eggs, until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish.
4• Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter. Mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture, pressing it gently with the back of a fork to help it stick.
5• Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is set. If you want a darker crust, place it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
6• Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

My old mother used to make this pumpkin pie every Holiday. It's creamy and melts smoothly in your mouth. 👇👇 it's so easy to make!


Ingredients:
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust, deep-dish
• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree (Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin)
• 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk (Nestlé Carnation)
-----------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1• Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or prepare your 9-inch deep-dish pie crust and place it on a baking sheet.
2• Blend Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
3• Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly until they’re well mixed.
4• Add Pumpkin and Spice Mix: Stir in the canned pumpkin puree along with the spice mixture, blending everything together until smooth.
5• Incorporate Evaporated Milk: Slowly add in the evaporated milk, stirring until the pumpkin filling is smooth and creamy.
6• Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
7• Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Afterward, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40 to 50 minutes. The pie is done when a knife or toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
8• Cool the Pie: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
9• Serve: Serve immediately once cooled, or refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy. For best results, do not freeze the pie, as freezing will cause the crust to separate from the filling.
