Tips:
- Use good quality peanut butter: The flavor of the peanut butter will come through in the pie, so it's important to use a good quality brand that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs can make the custard tough, so be careful not to overdo it.
- Bake the pie until the center is set: The pie is done baking when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the custard to set properly and the flavors to meld.
