Description

Indulge in the ultimate comfort dessert with this Peanut Pie featuring a homemade shortbread cookie crust. The filling is intensely flavorful, combining creamy peanut butter, dark corn syrup, and dry-roasted peanuts for a texture that is both smooth and delightfully crunchy. The shortbread crust provides a buttery, crumbly base that holds up beautifully to the rich filling. This pie is perfect for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or simply satisfying a serious sweet tooth. Its easier to make than it looks and delivers a restaurant-quality treat right from your own kitchen. Serve slices at room temperature or slightly chilled for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Place the broken shortbread cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons of peanut butter to the cookie crumbs and process until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  4. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring an even layer and a thicker edge near the rim.
  5. Bake the crust for 6 minutes to set it, then remove from the oven.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F (175C).
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, dark corn syrup, flour, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  8. Fold the coarsely chopped peanut butter cookies and dry-roasted peanuts into the filling mixture.
  9. Pour the filling into the partially baked pie shell.
  10. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is browned and set, but the center remains slightly gooey.
  11. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
