Peanut Butter Pie (No Bake) Recipe

INGREDIENTS

Peanut Butter Pie (No Bake)

  • 9-inch deep dish pre-made pie crust, baked
  • 1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ C. granulated sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 2 ¼ C. milk
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 4 egg yolk, slightly beaten
  • 1 ½ C. peanut butter
  • 4 Tbsp. softened butter
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ C. chopped peanuts
  • whipped topping, optional
  • 2 Tbsp. chocolate shavings, optional

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe container, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth.
  2. Use a pastry brush to coat the cooled pie shell with chocolate; chill in refrigerator.
  3. Combine sugar, corn starch and salt in a heavy saucepan; stir together with a wire whisk until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Continue to whisk, adding the milk by droplets at first, then in a continuous stream.
  5. Whisk in egg yolks, stirring vigorously until blended.
  6. Over medium heat, cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it boils. When the mixture reaches a full boil, reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring for 3 minutes.
  7. Remove mixture from heat; beat in margarine or butter, peanut butter and vanilla. Apply plastic wrap directly to the surface of the pudding (not the pan), covering the surface completely, and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  8. Stir well and pour into baked pie shell.
  9. Garnish with whipped topping and chocolate shavings. Serve chilled.
