American Silk Peanut Butter Pie

[Anonymous]

I just made this take-off from a French Silk Pie recipe.

I’ve called it American Silk Peanut Butter Pie . They call the chocolate one French and the French think peanut butter is really an American acquired taste and rarely like it but my father-in-law just finished off two helpings at one sitting.

American Silk Peanut Butter Pie

Mix together till creamy:
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups of Splenda
4 oz sugarfree peanut butter

Add: 4 eggs one at a time beating five minutes between each egg.

Spoon into your favorite nut crust or let set crustless in individual serving dishes.

I topped mine with 1 cup of whipped cream with 2 tablespoons of cocoa and some Splenda to taste. Could just be sprinkled with cocoa.

Best and easiest unbaked peanut butter pie yet.

That's what I was thinking--ewww.

It sounded so good till that!
I guess in France they don't worry about raw eggs as much as we do.

No, we don't worry about eating raw eggs as much as you do. I can buy eggs that are laid the same day I purchase them.

This recipe is a take-off from an American recipe not a French.
I guess they (the Americans) calculated their risks as you must calculate your own.
Don't make it if it worries you.

Please check the following site: I have only posted a small sample.

Raw Eggs for Your Health -- Major Update

By J. Mercola, D.O.As many of you know, I am a fond proponent of using raw eggs as a major food in your diet. Raw whole eggs are a phenomenally inexpensive and incredible source of high-quality nutrients that many of us are deficient in, especially high-quality protein and fat.Eggs generally are one of the most allergic foods that are eaten, but I believe this is because they are cooked. If one consumes the eggs in their raw state the incidence of egg allergy virtually disappears. Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape, and the distortion can easily lead to allergies.So, if you have not been able to tolerate eggs before you will want to consider eating them uncooked.But when one discusses raw eggs, the typical reaction is a fear of salmonella. So let me begin this update, my first that comprehensively addresses the immediate concern of nearly everyone who hears this recommendation."Well What About Salmonella? Won't I Get Sick If I Eat Raw Eggs?"Salmonella is a serious infection, and it is believed that in the US over two-thirds of a million cases of human illnesses a year result from eating contaminated eggs. If you want more information on salmonella the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has an excellent page on this disease. So why on earth would any competent health care professional ever recommend eating uncooked eggs?When you carefully analyze the risk of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, you will find that it is actually quite low. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-1 showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million of them are contaminated with salmonella. So simple math suggests that only 0.00003 percent of eggs are infected. The translation is that only one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella. This gives you an idea of how uncommon this problem actually is. While it is likely that I will consume more than 30,000 eggs in my lifetime, most of you will not. However, inevitably someone out there will find a salmonella-contaminated egg, so it is important to understand how to seriously decrease your risk of infection.Salmonella infections are usually present only in traditionally raised commercial hens. If you are purchasing your eggs from healthy chickens this infection risk reduces dramatically. Remember, only sick chickens lay salmonella-contaminated eggs. If you are obtaining high quality, cage-free, organically fed, omega-3 enhanced chicken eggs as recommended above, the risk virtually disappears.But let's say that for some reason, even after following that advice, you still obtain an egg that is infected. What do you do? Well, before you eat eggs - raw or not -- you should thoroughly examine them for signs of infection. I have provided some guidelines at the bottom of this section for you to use in this process.You might still be a bit nervous and say, "What if I follow these guidelines and still get an infection?"Salmonella Is Generally a Benign Self-Limiting Illness In Healthy PeopleThe major principle to recognize here is that if you are healthy a salmonella infection is not a big deal. You may feel sick and have loose stools, but this infection is easily treated by using high-quality probiotics that have plenty of good bacteria. You can take a dose every 30 minutes until you start to feel better, and most people improve within a few hours.
