PEANUTTY ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Combine the peanuts, butter and sugar; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine peanut butter and corn syrup. Add coconut and peanuts. Stir in ice cream just until combined. Spoon into crust.
• Cover and freeze overnight or until firm. Just before serving, sprinkle with mini candy-coated chocolate pieces, if desired.

PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Pulse the graham crackers and peanuts in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared crust with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon; set aside until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to use. In another bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined, then fold in the rest. Spoon into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with shaved chocolate before serving.

SPICY PEANUT PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C, 180C fan, gas 6. Steam the potatoes for the mash for 20 mins until tender, adding the cauliflower to the steamer after 10 mins. Heat the oil for the filling in a non-stick pan, add the ginger and chilli and stir around the pan until starting to soften. Stir in the dried spices then add the leeks and peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until they are softening.
• Tip in the tomatoes and tomato purée with the cauliflower and 150ml water, and the bouillon. Cover and simmer for 10 mins.
• Stir the peanut butter with 100ml water to loosen the consistency, then stir into stew and cook 5 mins more. Spoon equally into 25cm by 18cm pie dishes.
• For the mash, tip the beans into a bowl, add the coriander and chilli powder and mash well. Add the potatoes and roughly mash into the beans so it still has a little texture. Pile on top of the filling in the pie dishes and carefully spread over the filling to enclose it.
• Bake one for 35 mins and chill the other for another day. It will keep for 3 days. Reheat the remaining pie as above, adding an extra 15 mins as you're cooking it from cold.
