Thank you for your service!
I cheated on the crust for this pie. It is a staple of goodness for my Sweetheart.
Peanut Butter Mousse Pie with Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients:
3 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
3/4 c. peanut butter
2 c. heavy cream
1 tbsp. vanilla
2 graham cracker crust
MOUSSE: Whip the cream.
Cream the cream cheese with powdered sugar. Add milk and peanut butter.
Fold in the cream and vanilla.
GANACHE
1/2 c. cream
4 oz. chocolate chip
Warm cream to almost a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Pour over pie.
We pour half the ganche in the bottom on the crust to have a double chocolate.
Notes: The pie really needs the ganache to look goo and yummy! This pie freezes great!

"A staple of goodness for your sweetheart." Again, I will say that he is one lucky guy!
I loved your family photos. What a great bunch of people, and your grandpas and grandma look like movie stars! (And oh, that wedding dress!!!)
=)
How lucky we are to have veterans in our family and how lucky we are to have you honor them!
Where do I begin with my thoughts on this post!!
First, I LOVE the old pictures. MY grandparents, too, were/are war veterans (WWII and Korean War). I get emotional every time I hear the Salute to the Armed Forces played by an orchestra during patriotic holidays and celebrations. What sacrifices, and what an emotional patch in your family's quilt.
Second, I am really touched by how much you know and how much you want to know about your ancestry. It is wonderful to see all of your old photos and hear the old stories of people, real people who lived and breathed and died. You certainly know where you came from!
Third, JIFF PEANUT BUTTER IS THE BEST! I knew I liked you!
Last, is there a better combination of sweet than chocolate and peanut butter??
This is neat...I love old photos!
I baked a pie today!

This is for sure my favorite pie to date!!! I love reese's so...peanut butter and chocolate sounds fantastic.
Thanks for the post!
Thanks Wendy! Shaun was embarrassed about your post but I think he secretly loved it. I hope you have a great veterans day. We are going to go buy some cream cheese and cream to try this one. I'll let you know how it goes:)
Wendy was nice enough to give me this recipe in the past, and I have put my own little spin on it (I think it's better when it's frozen!), and it is absolutely DIVINE, almost heavenly when you eat it!
