CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CREAM PIE
It’s occurred to me I haven’t done dessert in a while, like half-a-dozen-posts while. I attribute this to the fact that most desserts require baking and therefore, turning on the oven. In case you didn’t know, we’re well into summer where I am, and it’s been mostly hot and humid. I’m not fond of standing in front of a hot oven in this weather. I’m sure you’d understand.
What about making cold desserts, you say, like ice cream, for instance? Uhm…. yeah, my ice cream machine is…. uhm…. broken.
Okay, I’m just making excuses. But you did buy it for a second there, didn’t you? The truth is, I haven’t done much cooking and baking altogether, period. It’s time to change that. I can’t continue to keep coming to my own fiesta without bringing anything. My guests deserve better than that. They would appreciate a dessert every now and then, am I right?
An easy to make, no-bake pie, like Banana Cream Pie, sounds pretty good to me and would satisfy my family’s sweet tooth. But is that the way a host should behave? Making the easiest thing to serve to her guests? I don’t think so. So, I’m making you a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie, instead. See…. I told you I’m a very thoughtful host and person. 🙂 🙂
