Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Garnish each slice with a NILLA Wafer just before serving.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm BAKER'S Chocolate slightly by heating it, unwrapped, in the microwave for a few seconds until you can just smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily between thumb and fingers of one hand and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate. Allow a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom. This will make long, delicate curls. Make short curls using the same technique on the narrow sides of the square. To arrange curls on a dessert, use a toothpick to lift them into place.

This instantly became our new favorite cream pie. We used banana pudding instead of vanilla.

Wow did I get the compliments on this dessert. In fact, out of three desserts I made for Easter meal, this was gone in a flash. Not one complaint and everyone raved about it. Will be passing on recipe to others also. So easy to make (a big plus) and who can resist chocolate and peanut butter and bananas and whipped topping!!! Yummy!!! A real keeper!
