peanut butter pie - from scratch - cass's
(7 ratings)
I grew up enjoying this creamy custardy type Peanut Butter pie at a local restaurant. I would be so disappointed when they would sell out of it before I got my piece..lol! The owners of the restaurant sold before I was ever able to get my hands on the recipe. So, I worked on a recipe till I got it right. it's as close to their version as I think I could ever get. I had leftover pie dough from weekend pecan pies. So, asked the boy what pie he wanted. He requested this one. He loves it as much as I do. Enjoy! My photo's

How To Make peanut butter pie - from scratch - cass's
-
1Prepare 9 inch pie crust. Could probably use graham cracker crust also. I prefer home made. -
2In a large saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, and stir occasionally.
-
3In a medium-sized bowl, whisk cornstarch and water until smooth, then whisk in egg yolks.
-
4Whisk egg mixture into boiling milk mixture and stir until thick, over medium heat. (This will thicken quickly)
-
5Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Pour into baked pie shell. ( You may want to taste the pudding at this point to see if it's enough peanut butter to your liking)
-
6Chill, then top with whipped cream. I sometimes add chopped nuts and milk chocolate chips to garnish. This pie is delicious, if you are a peanut butter lover you should love this pie. This pie is also great with a layer of chocolate ganache on the crust before pouring the pudding into the crust.
