Peanut Butter Pie
Creamy peanut butter pudding with peanut butter crumbles, airy, light meringue makes up this delicious peanut butter pie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter (divided use)
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- dash salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 eggs, separated
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup sugar (for meringue)
- Lard Pie Crust, link above
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the confectioner's sugar and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter. Cut sugar into peanut butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Place half of mixture in bottom of baked pie shell, reserve remainder for top.
- In large sauce pan, add the egg yolks, milk, 2/3 cup sugar, remaining peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch. Cook over medium low heat until thick, stirring constantly (I used a whisk). Pour over peanut butter crumbles in the pie crust.
- Beat egg whites until foamy, add sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Spread over top of pie, being careful to seal at edges. Sprinkle remainder of peanut butter crumbles over top of pie.
- Bake at 325 for thirty minutes.
- Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Notes
Total time does not include cooling time. Cool and refrigerate for 4 hours.

I am so going to pin this! I always bake my pie crusts with lard–and they are so easy. A master chef told me to do it, and not to work with it too much (to leave even big chunks of lard,) and it has worked well! I also have a food and pinterest linky on my website–the first two posts on my home page. I would love to see you there. I pin all my link-ups. I found you through Create it or Bake it linky.

Christina @ Juggling Real Food and Real Life says
I just can’t get enough peanut butter Mary Ellen! This pie looks fantastic. My grandmother had pies for Sunday dinner each week. She made the crust with lard and there is nothing like it. Truly delicious and tender. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I sure miss that pie crust. Maybe I’ll try to make one for my family.
Mary Ellen says
Hi Christina, I used to be pie crust challenged before I started using lard. It truly does make the best pie crust.
Bismah says

Sarah says
I love peanut butter pie. I used to work at Marie Callender’s and this pie had to be special ordered. Quite possibly the best pie in the world.
Mary Ellen says
I love this pie, I first had it at a Big Bob Gibson’s and it was amazing. They only made it one weekend a month so I went on a quest to make my own. This is the final version.

Rachael says
Martha Stewart likes to make all of her crusts with lard too. I personally use shortening! This pie looks so yummy.
Mary Ellen says
I’m doing half butter and half lard now. I like the combination better and still have a very flaky crust.
Yvonne [Tried and Tasty] says
Holy moly are you serious?? I’m a peanut butter fanatic. This looks insanely delicious!

Yep Yvonne, serious! LOL…. it is insanely delicious!
Jen says
This peanut butter pie is making my knees weak! I LOVE peanut butter and can’t think of a more delicious way to eat it! So excited for this!
Mary Ellen says
Thanks Jen! This pie is over the top heavenly for a peanut butter lover…..
shelby says
This looks divine! I’m not a large pie fan either as is evident by the lack of them on my blog, I think this one would be a pie I couldn’t resist though. I love all things peanut butter and I love how different this is!
Mary Ellen says
I don’t have a lot of pie recipes either. This is a really good peanut butter filling but those crumbles are the surprise when you eat this. They give a burst of peanut butter flavor.
ashley H. says
How does it turnnout without the meringe?
Mary Ellen says
It would be good with whipped cream also.
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
I am loving this slightly different peanut butter pie with a meringue topping! And those crumbs!
Mary Ellen says
This pie is amazing! Hope you try it!
