Do-Si-Dos Pie

March 27, 2012 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale

Sink your teeth into to some creamy peanut butter and chocolate mousse. Finding its way into that creamy note are some crushed Do-si-dos for a textural contrast.

PB & Chocolate Do-si-dos Icebox Pie

The other day I was reminded that bikini season is coming up. Coming up? Spring only just began. Shouldn’t I have two months of carefree eating before I have to worry about bikini strings cutting into my body like a trussed pork loin.

Seems like fashion is the food police in my circle of friends. Along with the bikini, it’s all about squeezing into skinny jeans. It’s so bad they stare at a dessert and ask, “Is it skinny jeans approved”. No one listens to me, but my advice – wear stretch pants. As for bikini season we are weeks —weeks, away from it.
So until the time comes to sweat down to a summer svelte shape – let’s just eat and enjoy!

A few notes:

  • Do-si-dos pie can be assembled two days in advance.
  • To whip the cream quickly, chill the bowl and beaters in the freezer.
  • I used a hand held beater instead of a stand mixer to make the whipped cream to prevent over working the whipping cream and breaking it.
  • Variation: If you don’t have Do-si-dos, substitute it for Snickers or any other candy bar. For those with a peanut allergy, substitute the peanut butter with caramel sauce.

    those look insanely good! Chocolate and peanut butter are my younger brother’s favorite flavors and he loves mousse- pretty sure I better plan on making this the next time he comes to visit!

    Insanely good! The tips for whipping cream are fab- mine always splits after being overbeaten so what I do is start off in the mixer and then towrads the end, beat by hand! I NEED that tray!

    Where does it say how many Oreos and how much butter to use?

  14. mrsbusyb says

    March 28, 2012 at 7:20 pm

    How many oreos in the crust? Why don’t I find that info. Am I blinded by deliciousness?

  15. Naomi says

    March 28, 2012 at 7:42 pm

    Hi Mrs. Busyb – I just added that. Thanks for letting me know.

  16. Naomi says

    March 28, 2012 at 7:43 pm

    Hi Sarah-Thanks for letting me know, I updated the recipes to reflect that.

  17. Kay Watson says

    March 28, 2012 at 8:48 pm

    Hi Sarah, I have read and reread your recipe and I just need some clarification. After heating the cream and gelatin do you add that to the chocolate mixture as you do in the peanut butter layer. I see that after heating you set it aside to cool and then whip the remaining cream and add in the chocolate mixture. Perhaps it doesn’t make a difference but I want to make sure. Thanks.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
