Ingredients
- 9 piecrust
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 3 3/4 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
In a mixing bowl, cut the peanut butter into the powdered sugar till crumbly. Set aside.
For the filling, in a medium or large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir till bubbly. Cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and gradually stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into the eggs. Return all to saucepan. Cook till nearly bubbly, but do not boil. Reduce the heat. Cook and stir the mixture for 2 minutes more. Stir the butter or margarine and vanilla into the mixture.
Sprinkle the baked crust with half of the peanut butter mixture. Mound the filling on top. Cover; chill 1 hour.
In a mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream just till stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Spread whipped cream over pie. Sprinkle with remaining peanut mixture. Chill till serving time (at least 2 hours). Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Makes 8 servings. From Rosie's Diner in Rockford, MI Recipe printed in Midwest Living, April 1993
