This is an excellent peanut butter pie recipe. My grandmother requested it many years ago from a restaurant that served it. Everyone who has had this pie loves it.

Very tasty! I love peanut butter but I don't like peanut butter pies that have the cream cheese fluff. This pie has lots of peanut butter flavor without being too rich. I couldn't get the egg whites with sugar to form stiff peaks - they were more like marshmallow fluff but it baked up fine. I'll definitely use this recipe again. I may recommend putting it in a chocolate crumb crust. I referred my mom to the recipe and she let me know that you can make the custard easily in the microwave. Just stir it after a minute or two until it's thickened. So much easier! Read More

I attempted this recipe 4 times and had to throw the pie away every time. Poured filling into pie crust and peanut butter crust floated to the top every time. Turned out soupy every time. I read and re-read the directions over and over wondering what I was doing wrong... couldn't figure it out. Makes me question these reviews... Read More

I use whole eggs in the custard and do NOT top with the meringue. Everyone requests that I bring this to all pot-lucks! Read More

I've made this recipe for years, but I only use 1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar on the bottom mixture. I use Cool Whip on the top, and sprinkle it with Peanut Butter/Confectioner's sugar mixture. Read More

Directions are perfect so the result is a delicious treat. Remember to cut small slices as this is intended to be a rich pie. This is a real peanut butter pie and the cooked custard is the proof! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Read More

If you're looking for a cream pie that has a powerful p.b. flavor try Peanut Butter Pie I. This one was a fine pie though. The cream layer takes about 10 min to thicken on medium heat another 10 to get the egg whites to the hard peak stage; the recipe is worth the time. The only change I made was to use an Oreo crust at the behest of my husband.:) Read More

I wonder if that Florida restaurant was Bradenton's Amish restaurant Miller's Dutch Kitchen. This looks and tastes just like it. I can't tell you how many times I bought a slice to go for my husband. If he was with we were too full we would still buy a slice to go! Read More
