Ingredients

1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1/2 cup peanut butter

3 cups whole milk

1/2 cup cornstarch

3 large egg yolks

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with the peanut butter. Mix until crumbly and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 1/2 cups of milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until warm (but not boiling).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the egg mixture to the warmed milk, whisking continuously. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened and bubbly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool slightly.
  6. Sprinkle half of the peanut butter crumbs over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Pour the custard over the crumbs and spread evenly.
  7. Top with the remaining peanut butter crumbs and chill the pie in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until fully set.
  8. Serve with whipped cream on top, if desired.

Notes

For a cleaner slice, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut through the custard.

You can substitute whole milk with a lower-fat or non-dairy milk, but it may affect the richness of the custard.

This pie can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
