Custard Peanut Butter Pie

Anything with a custard and peanut butter flavor will bring me running into the kitchen for more. This pie is the best combination of both custard and peanut butter.

Peanut butter makes for such a delicious dessert. Combining custard and peanut butter is just over-the-top on a delicious scale, but that’s just what I did in this recipe. If you make a custard pie like this classic buttermilk pie, you better believe that I want an invitation to that dinner. Of course, no pie is complete without that dollop of whipped cream.

What I love about this recipe:

  • easy to make – using a premade graham cracker crust
  • if you want to make this completely homemade then you can easily make a graham cracker crust with just crushed graham crackers and butter
  • it is a filling dessert
