My mother-in-law makes this delicious dessert whenever our family gets together. It's especially good when prepared with a chocolate graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided

  • 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • Dash salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • Place 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar in bowl. Cut in peanut butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs; set aside 3 tablespoons for garnish. Sprinkle the remaining mixture into the pastry shell; set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in a small amount into the eggs; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; add butter and vanilla, stirring constantly. Pour into crust. Cool slightly and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

I have made several recipes for peanut butter pie, and none have been as good as this one! My husband is not a fan of peanut butter, and while he was eating it, he said "I hope you will make this again". Of course I will. The only change that I made was add 1/3 c of peanut butter as I was adding the eggs and vanilla. This is delicious!!!!
