No Bake Peanut Butter Pies
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Dash salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- Place 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar in bowl. Cut in peanut butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs; set aside 3 tablespoons for garnish. Sprinkle the remaining mixture into the pastry shell; set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in a small amount into the eggs; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat; add butter and vanilla, stirring constantly. Pour into crust. Cool slightly and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
