This is my old Amish neighbors recipe, tweaked by me. When I think of peanut butter pie, I want to taste peanut butter. The only peanut butter in the original recipe was in the crumbles! My tweaking turned out scrumptious and just the right amount, not overpowering! I let her try mine and she asked, " why didn't I think of that?" It's dangerously delicious, the best you'll ever tease the tastebuds with! I make two everytime I make, as someone always wants to take a piece to devour later! Try it, you'll see what I mean! :) Enjoy!

How To Make ~ addictive peanut butter pie ~

Step 1

In a med bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup milk, salt, vanilla and corn starch. Set aside. This keeps you from having to temper eggs later.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, over med heat... bring 3 cups milk, butter and 3/4 cups sugar almost to boil, stirring constantly. Add the egg mixture and remain stirring until thick. Remove from heat and beat in 1/2 cup peanut butter, until thoroughly incorporated. Refrigerate to cool, stirring every so often.
Step 3

In the meantime, mix the peanut butter, confectioners' and cocoa until crumbly. Using fingers is easier. Set aside until needed.
Step 4

Once pudding is just lukewarm. Sprinkle half of peanut butter crumble on bottom of baked pie crust. Spread evenly. Spread peanut butter pudding over crumbles.
Step 5

Spread the top evenly with whipped cream and sprinkle top with remaining crumbles. Refrigerate for at least a few more hours to finish setting up pudding!
