Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 c. butter, softened
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
2 c. confectioners sugar
1 c. peanut butter (smooth, not chunky)
1 c. heavy cream
1 baked (10-inch) pie shell
semi-sweet chocolate chips or shavings as garnish

Preparation

Beat eggs with 3/4 cup butter, the melted chocolate and the sugar for 5 full minutes until smooth and thick.
In separate bowl, beat peanut butter with remaining 1/4 cup of butter.
While you are beating, add up to 1/3 cup of the cream in order to make the peanut butter a spreadable consistency that will swirl readily into the chocolate mixture.
Spoon chocolate mixture into pie shell.
Swirl peanut butter into chocolate mixture.
Beat remaining heavy cream until thicken enough to spread across the top of the pie.
Garnish cream with semi-sweet chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
