Upstate Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust, baked
  • 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate, melted
  • Whipped cream
  • chopped salted peanuts
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, salt and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir 1 cup of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Cool slightly.
  2. Divide mixture in half. To one portion, gently stir in peanut butter; pour into prepared crust. Gently stir chocolate into the remaining portion; pour over top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream and peanuts.
