When it’s hot outside I usually prefer making cakes and cookies without turning on the oven. I simply can’t stand the heat outside in the summer, and this is just the time I make cold no-bake desserts.
This chocolate and peanut butter pie is so easy to make and absolutely delicious – quick and easy cookie crust filled with peanut butter cream and chocolate ganache. Kids will love it!
