Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Pie


From above this looks like a typical cream pie. It's topped with peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter. Yummy, but nothing too exciting...


But you decide get a better look and realize that it's a light and creamy peanut butter pie atop a layer of rich dark chocolate brownie. Now, it has your full attention!


Then, you take a slice and see there are even more surprises. The rich brownie layer is spotted with bits of peanut butter chips. This pie is also sitting on a crumbly Oreo crust. Not just any Oreo crust, though... it's a Peanut butter Oreo crust.


For a peanut butter/chocolate lover, this isn't just a slice of pie, it's a pure slice of creamy, delicious heaven!

Sour Cream Peach Pecan Pie


This pie is made by putting peaches in a pie dish and covering them with a mixture of sugar, eggs, and sour cream that transforms into a sweet custard when baked. It's topped off with a yummy brown sugar and pecan streusel.

While baking, the custard in my pie started forming a top crust before I could cover it with all of the streusel topping, which is supposed to be a very thick layer. The filling also did not firm up as much as the source's picture shows, but it still cut very well and held it's shape for the most part.

The combination of fresh peaches, sweet custard filling, and pecan streusel made this pie truly amazing! The flavors, as well as the textures, are fantastic. This is one pie that you will definitely want to try before saying goodbye to summer. :)

Rum-Spiked Peach Cobbler


No dessert screams Summer! to me as much as peach cobbler.


I made this classic dessert one step better by slightly cooking the peaches in a butter-rum sauce before tossing with the other ingredients. The rum I use is Tattoo, which adds a very nice, sweet flavor to the peaches. (I believe I've raved about Tattoo before..)
The filling tasted great, not too sweet, it was perfect! The juices set up very nicely. This cobbler was not runny at all, unlike some others I've tried before.

Oh, and the crust...
SO so so so so good!! It has a wonderful flavor, and an even better texture. It cooks up nice and golden with a slight crunch on the outside, and light, fluffy and very moist on the inside. 
YUMM!! :)
