Y’all know I don’t eat junk all the time. Remember last Feed Me Friday? I posted a Summer Tomato and Cucumber Salad that is fresh and healthy. But with all of the change in my life right now, you know I’ve been known to give in to some temptations. This one wasn’t just for me. No, it was actually for guests who came for dinner. A healthy dinner of grilled chicken and fresh veggies. But it did end in this rich and creamy cold dessert pie.

Drumstick Pie can easily be made ahead and kept in the freezer for unannounced guests, friendly neighbors, or drop-in relatives. I’ve changed the recipe a little from the original given to me long ago by a friend/mentor who is also an amazing and practical cook. Got 10 minutes? You can make this pie!

Drumstick Pie with Fudge Sauce

• 1 package of cream cheese (8 oz and I use fat free), softened
• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 1/3 c. peanut butter
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 prepared graham cracker crust, chocolate or vanilla

Whip the cheese until fluffy and then add in the sugar and peanut butter. Resist eating it at this point! Add the milk and blend well, then fold in the Cool Whip. Pour the mixture into the crust and freeze. When you’re ready to serve, it only needs a few minutes at room temperature to be ready to slice and serve.

Fudge Sauce

• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 3/4 c. cocoa powder
• 1/4 c. flour
• 1/2 t. salt

Combine all ingredients and blend. Add in 1 can (14 1/2 oz) evaporated milk, 1 C. water, and 2 T. butter. Cook over medium heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. Cook 5 minutes longer once it boils, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool slightly;  add 2 t. vanilla. You can serve it warm or cold. And feel free to just eat a spoonful of this deliciousness!

We’re more likely to be hospitable when we are prepared. Have a Drumstick Pie in your freezer this August, and you’ll be ready to open your home and your life!

Happy Feed Me Friday!
