My very good friends Berta and Rach from Fryeburg, Maine sent me their church cookbook, “A Taste of Heaven” a collection of favorite recipes of the Center Conway United Methodist Church in New Hampshire. This recipe came from that cookbook and after corresponding with Rach I found out that Mickey Leavitt is an 80 year old woman that brings this pie to every church supper. I can see why there is never any left. It is heavenly and wickedly good.
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups cool whip
1 graham cracker crust
Mix the first four ingredients together with an electric mixer. Fold in the cool whip. Pour into crust and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
My variation to the recipe is I used a cooked pastry crust (prick the pastry and cook in 350ยบ for 12-15 minutes). I used chunky peanut butter and I made my own whip cream with barley any sugar. Either way you slice it, it is an unbelievably tasty dessert! Enjoy.
