By hmp13

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 recipe pie pastry
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and icing sugar and stir well. Reserve ¼ cup and spread the rest in the bottom of the crust.

In a saucepan, combine the flour, the ½ cup sugar, salt, milk, and egg yolks over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour the filling into the crust and set aside to cool.

Combine the cream and the 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the filling. Sprinkle the reserved peanut butter mixture over the top. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
