Peanut Butter Silk Pie

This peanut butter silk pie has a graham cracker crust, a thin layer
of fudge, and a cream cheese - peanut butter filling. Make this
special and delicious dessert for any occasion. This recipe uses
chocolate fudge cooked to soft ball stage, but you can use your own
favorite fudge recipe.

graham cracker crust for 9-inch pie*
Fudge Layer
1 cup granulated sugar
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
Filling
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
2 cups whipped topping
*Purchase a large graham cracker crust or make your own:

Mix 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup
melted butter or margarine; pat into a 9-inch pie plate and chill for
about 30 minutes before filling. If a crispier crust is desired, bake
at 375° for about 7 minutes before filling.

In a medium saucepan, cook sugar, chocolate, milk, corn syrup
together, stirring occasionally, to the soft ball stage (see below),
or about 234° to 240° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat; stir
in peanut butter. Beat lightly for a few minutes; pour into bottom of
pie crust. Chill thoroughly before filling.

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with peanut butter,
powdered sugar and milk. Fold in whipped topping until well blended.
Spoon into fudge-layered pie crust and garnish with chocolate curls
and/or chopped peanuts. Chill thoroughly before serving.

Seafood Sushi Wraps

Wraps


3/4 cup uncooked sushi (medium-grain) rice

1 cup water

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

3 whole wheat roll-ups (9 1/2x8 inch; from 8-oz package)

6 tablespoons garden vegetable cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

6 to 8 (about 1 oz each) refrigerated imitation crabmeat sticks

3 green onions, trimmed to 8-inch length, halved lengthwise

 
Dipping Sauce


2 tablespoons finely chopped gingerroot

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon roasted red chili paste

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

 
1. In 1 1/2-quart nonstick saucepan, heat rice and water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender. Meanwhile, place 15x10-inch pan with sides in freezer to chill.


2. Drizzle rice vinegar over rice while lifting and fluffing rice; spread rice in chilled pan. Place in freezer for 5 minutes to cool completely.

3. On work surface, place 1 roll-up with short sides at top and bottom. Spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese over entire surface of roll-up. Spread 3/4 cup cooled rice over cream cheese, leaving 1 1/2 inches of top short edge free of rice. Starting 1 inch from bottom short edge, arrange narrow row of carrot, row of bell pepper and row of crabmeat crosswise over rice. Above crabmeat, place 2 onion halves, alternating ends so there is one green end and one white end on each side. Press all layers into rice.

4. Bring bottom edge of roll-up over fillings to top edge of rice; pull bottom edge of roll-up back toward bottom, scraping rice into roll and fillings to make a firm roll (be sure there are no air spaces). Roll up, letting cream cheese seal the roll. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients, making 2 more rolls. Refrigerate rolls 1 hour.

5. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix dipping sauce ingredients. To serve, trim ends of each roll; cut each roll into 8 slices. Serve with dipping sauce.
