"I'd just like to be treated like a regular customer." He might have been able to swivel his hips and make women bawl, but really, Elvis was just your average Joe. I mean, look at the King's favorite food - a humble fried sandwich of peanut butter and banana. Not exactly regal. that said, this pie is our hunka-hunka-freezing-love tribute to him - a simple, velvety smooth icebox pie that would surely have elicited a "thank you, thank you very much" from the Pelvis.  1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. 2) For the crust, in a medium bowl, combine vanilla crumbs, butter and sugar. Press against the bottom and sides of the pie plate to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before filling. 3) Cover the bottom of the crust with the melted chocolate and arrange banana slices on top of chocolate. 4) In an electric mixer, cream together brown sugar, peanut butter, cream cheese and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping and spread over bananas. Drizzle top with chocolate sundae syrup. 5) Cover pie with plastic wrap and place in freezer for at least 3 hours before serving. For easier cutting, remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8 |
