Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients
- 1 9 inch pie crust premade
- 2 cups Cool Whip or whipped topping
Pudding Filling
- 1 cup cold milk plus 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
PB Crumbles
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter add more if needed
- 1 teaspoon water as needed
Instructions
- Pudding Filling
- Mix together, 1 cup cold milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla extract with a whisk until nice and smooth.
- In a saucepan, heat 3 cups milk, butter, and sugar on medium heat until it is almost at boil, stirring constantly.
- Once scalding, add the cornstarch mixture--whisking CONSTANTLY! Cook until thickened (keep whisking). Remove from heat before it starts to boil.
- Chill in refrigerator until fully cooled.
PB Crumbles
- Using a mixer, beat peanut butter and powdered sugar until small crumbles appear. If too dry, sprinkle some water in as needed (and possibly add more peanut butter) until they form distinct "crumbles".
Assembly
- Place 1/2 the peanut butter crumbles in the baked pie shell.
- Spoon chilled pudding on top of the crumbles (you may have too much pudding, use your judgement and put in as much filling as you think it should have).
- Place most of remaining crumbles on top of the pudding, reserving a little to sprinkle on the very top.
- Top with whipped cream. Sprinkle the remaining crumbles on the very top.
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
