Cómo preparar Peanut Butter Pie With Meringue Topping
- **Make the Crust:** Combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly. Press half of the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- **Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
- **Make the Custard:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- **Temper the Eggs:** In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks. Slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot cornstarch mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Then, pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Assemble the Pie:** Spread half of the remaining graham cracker crumbs over the cooled pie crust. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crust. Then, pour the warm custard over the peanut butter layer.
- **Make the Meringue:** In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- **Top and Bake:** Spread the meringue over the filling, sealing the edges to the crust. Sprinkle with the remaining graham cracker crumbs. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- **Cool and Chill:** Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
