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.
