Category: Pies - Cream and Custard

1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 envelope unflavored jello
3/4 cup water cold
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup frozen whipped topping thawed
1 chocolate cookie crumb pie crust ready-made

In a small saucepan over low heat, cook chocolate chips and oil until chocolate melts (do not burn). Remove from heat; set aside.

In another small saucepan, mix gelatin and water; let stand for 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat; set aside.

In a large mixer bowl at medium-high speed, beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, peanut butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture.

Place bowl of peanut butter mixture in a larger bowl which contains cold water and ice. Stir peanut butter mixture until it mounds when dropped from a spoon. Remove bowl from ice water.

Fold in whipped topping. Mound into pie crust, making a swirl in the center. Pipe or drizzle with reserved chocolate mixture. Chill overnight to develop flavor before serving.
