    There is nothing better than Homemade Peanut Butter Pie. This is my husbands favorite dessert.

    There is nothing better than Homemade Peanut Butter Pie. This is my husband's favorite dessert. You can use a from scratch pie crust or feel free to use a store bought one to save time. When you take a bite of this pie you will understand why it is my hubby's favorite. My Mother-in-Law makes this every year for the holidays, and he counts down each year until he will get to enjoy it.

    He is a peanut butter fanatic, so this is the perfect pie for him. Making the meringue is always the hardest part to this recipe but worth it trust me. Best of all this recipe is gluten free when you use a gluten free pie crust. Be sure to give this delicious pie recipe a try. You won't be sorry you did.

      Sounds great...I love peanut butter, and, have a great frozen peanut butter pie recipe...this is considerably different. Can't wait to try. Thanks for posting recipes on periodically, I am a foodie and always looking for new one!

      Ok, I need help with the scalded milk? Do you just get it warm or really burn it?

        You do not burn it - it will have a "skin" on the bottom of the pan - do NOT scrape it.

      I would love to make this. Which steps are the meringue? I was a little confused on which steps are the cooked mixture and which are the meringue.
