Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 25 Nutter Butters finely crushed (about 2 3/4 cups crumbs)
  • 5 Tbsp butter melted

Filling:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup peanut butter

Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumb Topping:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • cup peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Finely crush the Nutter Butters in a food processor and pour into a small bowl. It's ok if you don't have exactly 2 3/4 cups crumbs, it just needs to be close.
  • Stir in the butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate.
  • Bake crust for 7-8 minutes, then cool completely.
  • Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a heavy medium sized saucepan. Whisk in the eggs and milk till mixture is smooth. Heat over medium high, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter. Place the bottom half of the pan in a sink of ice water, stir till cool.
  • Pour peanut butter pudding into the crust. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours, or until set.
  • Beat the cream with a hand mixer till soft peaks form. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract till smooth. Spread over the filling.
  • Mix together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/3 cup peanut butter till crumbly. (I used a small food processor, but you can use a fork.) Sprinkle over the top of the cream.
  • Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator.

Notes

If you prefer, you can leave the crust unbaked. I like the flavor of a baked crust better, but you can skip that step.
