This is an excellent peanut butter pie recipe. My grandmother requested it many years ago from a restaurant that served it. Everyone who has had this pie loves it.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Mix confectioners' sugar and peanut butter until mixture has a crumbly texture. Sprinkle half over the bottom of the shell.
  2. 2 In the top of a double boiler, combine milk, 2/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Cook over medium-low heat until thick. Pour filling into crust.
  3. 3 Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and continue beating. Gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with remaining peanut butter mixture.
  4. 4 Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

    I attempted this recipe 4 times and had to throw the pie away every time. Poured filling into pie crust and peanut butter crust floated to the top every time. Turned out soupy every time. I read and re-read the directions over and over wondering what I was doing wrong... couldn't figure it out. Makes - Read more ...

    I've been making this recipe for years and it's excellent. I also use this basic recipe along with some homemade peanut butter cookies and whipped Cream to make a killer trifle!

    If you're looking for a cream pie that has a powerful p.b. flavor try Peanut Butter Pie I. This one was a fine pie though. The cream layer takes about 10 min to thicken on medium heat another 10 to get the egg whites to the hard peak stage; the recipe is worth the time. - Read more ...

    Directions are perfect so the result is a delicious treat. Remember to cut small slices as this is intended to be a rich pie. This is a real peanut butter pie and the cooked custard is the proof! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

    I wonder if that Florida restaurant was Bradenton's Amish restaurant Miller's Dutch Kitchen. This looks and tastes just like it. I can't tell you how many times I bought a slice to go for my husband. If he was with we were too full we would still buy a slice to go!

    Very tasty! I love peanut butter but I don't like peanut butter pies that have the cream cheese fluff. This pie has lots of peanut butter flavor without being too rich. I couldn't get the egg whites with sugar to form stiff peaks - they were more like marshmallow fluff but it baked up fine. - Read more ...

    I've made this recipe for years, but I only use 1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar on the bottom mixture. I use Cool Whip on the top, and sprinkle it with Peanut Butter/Confectioner's sugar mixture.

    This recipe is the REAL deal the best peanut butter pie I have ever made! I didn't change a thing in the recipe it was perfect.

    I use whole eggs in the custard and do NOT top with the meringue. Everyone requests that I bring this to all pot-lucks!
