Number Of Ingredients 28

peanut butter
egg yolks
powdered sugar
butter
pie shell (9 inch)
vanilla extract
all-purpose flour
sugar
salt
milk
egg whites
sugar
cream of tartar
cornstarch
peanut butter
egg yolks

pie shell (9 inch)
vanilla extract
all-purpose flour
sugar
salt
milk
egg whites
sugar
cream of tartar
cornstarch

Steps:

  • The key to pleasing the pallet of a Peanut Butter Pie connoisseur is to not mix the peanut butter into the filling. Note that everything is made from scratch. This extra effort will reward you with excellent flavors. OVEN : 350℉ (180℃) for 15 to 20 minutes. Blend peanut butter and confectioners sugar together as for pastry until well mixed and mealy. Spread about ⅔ of mixture over baked pie crust. Reserve remainder for top. Combine flour, sugar, and salt together; blend in scaled milk. Blend mixture into slightly beaten egg yolks. Return to double boiler and cook about 2 minutes more. Add butter and vanilla. Turn into pie shell and top with meringue. For meringue, beat egg whites until stiff enough to hold their shape. Add cream of tartar and beat until blended. Mix sugar and cornstarch and add to egg whites. Beat until very stiff. Spread on filled pie shell and sprinkle on remaining peanut butter crumbs. Bake in 350℉ (180℃) oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool away from draft.

GRANDMA SHIPLEY'S PEANUT BUTTER PIE



Grandma Shipley's Peanut Butter Pie image

When I married my husband, he raved about his grandma's peanut butter pie. She brought it to almost every family gathering, and I quickly agreed with him! Grandma has not made it in a long time since she had a stroke, and the rest of the family doesn't make it (I think they are sad her tradition is no longer hers). I am so happy she shared it with me so that I can make it for my hubby!

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup(s) chunky peanut butter
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
1 - 9" pie crust
3 ounce(s) custard mix (like the pudding mix but custard flavored)
1 cup(s) heavy cream (i used cool whip instead of heavy cream)
2 cup(s) milk
- peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine peanut butter and sugar until crumbly. Reserve 1/4 cup. Sprinkle in pie crust. Mix custard mix with milk per package directions. Pour into crust. Chill to set. Beat cream until stiff. Cover the pie, sprinkle with reserved mix and peanuts.
  • Grandma Shipley told me that the custard mix is harder to find, so she would make it with vanilla and add an egg into the mix. I have never liked raw egg, so I chose instead to make it with a little more peanut butter and a rich vanilla filling if I can't find the custard.

Tips:

  • For a creamier peanut butter filling, use a high-quality peanut butter that is not too dry. Creamy peanut butter will also make it easier to spread.
  • If you don't have a pre-made graham cracker crust, you can easily make your own. Simply combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
  • To prevent the filling from cracking, make sure to let the pie chill for at least 4 hours before serving. You can also cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.
  • If you want a more chocolatey pie, you can add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the filling. You can also drizzle chocolate sauce over the top of the pie before serving.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, you can top the pie with whipped cream and chopped peanuts.

Conclusion:

Whether you're a peanut butter lover or just looking for a delicious and easy dessert, this Grandma's Peanut Butter Pie is sure to please. With its creamy filling, chocolatey crust, and whipped cream topping, it's the perfect pie for any occasion.
