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!
You are welcome!
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.
I updated it to help 🙂
Thank you!
You are so welcome!
