By hmp13

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 1/2 recipe plain pie pastry or vinegar pie crust, prebaked
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Whipped topping or sweetened whipped cream, for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the peanut butter and icing sugar and mix with a fork until crumbly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture and sprinkle the rest in the crust.

To make the filling, put the sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan and stir to combine. Add the milk and egg yolks, then place over medium heat. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes, until bubbly and thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.

Pour the filling into the crust, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, until set.

Spread the whipped topping over the pie and sprinkle with the reserved peanut butter mixture before serving. Served chilled.
