• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Cool Whip (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Crumble:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and peanut butter.
   • Use a pastry blender to mix until crumbly. Set aside.

2. Assemble the Pie:

   • Preheat your oven to the specified temperature for baking the pie shell.
   • Sprinkle 3/4 of the peanut butter crumble mixture into the bottom of the baked 9-inch pie shell, ensuring an even layer.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a double boiler, combine the cornstarch, sugar, butter, and milk.
   • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, for approximately 12 minutes or until thickened.

4. Incorporate the Eggs:

   • Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
   • Stir the egg yolks into a small portion of the thickened mixture.
   • Gradually add this egg mixture back into the remaining hot mixture in the double boiler, stirring constantly.

5. Finalize the Filling:

   • Continue to cook the mixture for an additional 2 minutes, or until it reaches the desired thickness.
   • Remove the double boiler from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Assemble the Pie:

   • Pour the prepared filling over the peanut butter crumble in the pie shell, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
   • Refrigerate the pie for a few hours or until the filling has set.

7. Add the Toppings:

   • Once the pie has chilled and set, top it with a generous layer of Cool Whip.
   • Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble over the Cool Whip topping for added texture and flavor.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Slice the Peanut Butter Pie into portions and serve chilled.
   • Indulge in each creamy, peanut buttery bite, savoring the perfect balance of sweetness and richness.

Chef’s Tips:

• For added indulgence, drizzle chocolate syrup over each slice before serving.
• Garnish with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
• To save time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making one from scratch.
• Ensure the pie is thoroughly chilled before serving for the best texture and flavor.
