Peanut Butter Pie

There is nothing better than Homemade Peanut Butter Pie. This is my husband’s favorite dessert. You can use a from scratch pie crust or feel free to use a store bought one to save time. When you take a bite of this pie you will understand why it is my hubby’s favorite. My Mother-in-Law makes this every year for the holidays, and he counts down each year until he will get to enjoy it.

He is a peanut butter fanatic, so this is the perfect pie for him. Making the meringue is always the hardest part to this recipe but worth it trust me. Best of all this recipe is gluten free when you use a gluten free pie crust. Be sure to give this delicious pie recipe a try. You won’t be sorry you did.
