Servings: 8

 

Ingredients:

4 average-sized ripe bananas

3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

9 ounces creamy peanut butter (do not use a "natural" brand as the oils will separate)

1 teaspoon powdered gelatin

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 ounces heavy cream

8 ounces Cracklin' Oat Bran cereal crumbs (pulverized in food processor or crushed by hand)

1 teaspoon salt

2 ounces confectioner's sugar

2 ounces Frangelico or other nut flavored liquor

Equipment:

bowl

microwave

stand mixer

whisk

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 In a large bowl, combine cereal crumbs, salt, and sugar and stir to combine. Add the melted butter and mix until the butter evenly coats the crumbs. Pour the mixture into the 9-inch pie plate and press the crumbs evenly along the sides and bottom to form a shell. Chill the pie shell for half an hour or until it firms up a bit. It will be delicate and crumbly. 2 Pour the Frangelico in a small heatproof bowl or coffee mug, and slowly sprinkle the gelatin over the top a little at a time, to avoid clumping. Set aside for five minutes to allow the gelatin to hydrate. Place the peanut butter in a medium-sized heatproof bowl and warm it in the microwave in thirty second increments, stopping each time to stir. Do this until the peanut butter feels hot to the touch and has a liquid consistency. Set the liquid peanut butter aside and place the bloomed gelatin in the microwave. Heat in fifteen second increments, stopping to stir each time, until the gelatin is completely melted. Combine the melted gelatin and the liquid peanut butter and stir vigorously. The mixture will become very thick and gooey. Continue to stir until the mixture is homogeneous. 3 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and whip to soft peaks. Remove 3 ounces of the whipped cream and place in the fridge to chill. To the remaining cream, add the peanut butter mixture and whisk on high speed for 30 seconds to incorporate. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and then whisk until the peanut butter mixture is combined with the whipped cream with no visible clumps, another 15 to 30 seconds. 4 Slice three bananas into 1/8th-inch-thick slices. In the chilled pie shell, alternate layers of bananas and peanut butter mousse, finishing with a layer of mousse on top. Chill the pie for at least four hours. When ready to serve, pipe or spoon the reserved whipped cream (it may need to be re-whipped a bit before using) onto the top and decorate with slices from the remaining banana. Serve immediately after decorating.

Food Joke

A Change In Plans Source: "Today's Woman" magazine, Barbara A Tyler. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy China or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful.
