This is a fantastic recipe. Just like the Amish make, but better. It's basically pastry cream with an intense peanut butter bottom. I made for a work function, and saved some of the peanut mixture to sprinkle over the top of the pie, before adding real sweetened whipped cream. I then sprinkled chopped peanuts and toffee bits over the whipped cream. Everyone went nuts! (pun intended) If you're looking for something different than the usual cream cheese peanut butter fare, give this recipe a try - I'm sure you'll be pleased.
