My food friends that follow The Social Chef know very well that desserts are not something I really enjoy to make. Mostly because I am not a fan of dessert but I am a fan of tiramisu a HUGE fan. This was requested from a friend and so I consulted my mother who enjoys to bake. So here is moms peanut butter pie with graham cracker crust. Warning…it’s really rich.
