Sweet, chewy chunks of peanut butter lie like buried treasures under a layer of chocolate custard. You can top this pie with meringue to make it extra spectacular. Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked |
2 cups milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 egg yolks |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 cup white sugar |
1/3 cup cornstarch |
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup peanut butter |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, and salt. Place over low heat and bring to a simmer. In a medium bowl, beat together egg yolks, cocoa powder, white sugar, and cornstarch.
2. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture into egg yolk mixture, blending well. Gradually add egg yolk mixture to remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to heat and allow to boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. In a small bowl mix together confectioners' sugar and peanut butter until thoroughly combined. Crumble mixture into pastry shell. Pour cooled chocolate mixture over peanut butter crumbles. Chill 2 hours before serving.
