Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the peanut butter crumbles:

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

For the filling:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup peanut butter

For the topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until combined. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to thicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
  4. Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, butter, and peanut butter until smooth.
  6. Sprinkle half of the peanut butter crumbles over the baked pie crust, then pour the warm filling over them. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  8. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over the chilled pie.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles on top before serving.
