Ingredients
Pie Crust:
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust;
Peanut Butter Custard:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter; 1 cup powdered sugar; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 tsp salt; 2 cups whole milk; 3 large egg yolks; 2 tbsp unsalted butter; 1 tsp vanilla extract;
Whipped Cream Topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream; 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for whipped cream topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Crumbles: Blend peanut butter and powdered sugar until crumbly; set aside.
- Make Custard: Whisk granulated sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually add milk, cook until thick. Temper egg yolks, combine with custard. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Assemble: Sprinkle peanut butter crumbles in pie crust, pour custard over, and chill for 4 hours.
- Whip Cream: Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie, top with remaining peanut butter crumbles before serving.

- This pie is best served cold and can be made a day in advance.
- Add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for extra indulgence.
