Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F if baking the crust. Mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes or chill if opting for no-bake. Cool completely.
2. Combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and flour in a bowl until crumbly. Set aside.
3. In a saucepan, whisk granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
4. Temper egg yolks by whisking in a bit of the hot mixture, then return to pan and cook 2–3 minutes more.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth. Let cool slightly.
6. Pour filling into crust. Sprinkle half the peanut butter crumbles on top.
7. In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the filling.
8. Sprinkle remaining crumbles over whipped topping.
9. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving for best sliceable results.
Notes
Chill the crust while preparing the filling to help the base firm up.
Don’t add whipped topping to a warm filling or it will melt.
For extra flavor, try swapping graham crackers for crushed Nutter Butters or Oreos.
