Servings: persons

1 whole Pre-baked Pie Shell
8 ounces, weight Cool Whip Or Whipped Cream
_____
FOR THE PUDDING:
3 cups Milk, Divided
2/3 cups Sugar
4 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Tablespoon Flour
3 whole Egg Yolks
1 pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Tablespoons Butter
_____
FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER CRUMBS:
1/3 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup Powdered Sugar

1
Pudding:
2
In a saucepan, heat 2-1/2 cups milk on medium-high heat. In a small mixing bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup milk, sugar, cornstarch, flour, egg yolks, and salt to make a paste.
3
When the milk in the saucepan is partially heated (not boiling), add the paste mixture to the pan. Then add vanilla and butter and bring to a boil. Continue boiling over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, till mixture is thickened. (This step always seems to take longer than what I remember it does. You don't want to overcook the pudding, but you don't want to undercook it, or your pie will not set properly.)
4
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
5
To make peanut butter crumbs:
6
Mix together peanut butter and powdered sugar with a fork, till combined.
7
Spread half of the crumbs into the bottom of a pre-baked pie shell. Top with vanilla pudding, then Cool Whip, then remaining peanut butter crumbs.
8
Warning: This pie will disappear before your very eyes!
