Great Make-Ahead Dessert
Occasionally, I like to comb through old recipe books that my mother and grandmother used back in the day. Recently, I ran across this recipe for Peanut Butter Pie in one of their handwritten cookbooks. Once I saw the recipe I remembered my mom telling me how simple and good it is. If I remember correctly, I believe she obtained the recipe from a local country club restaurant.
Of particular note, this Peanut Butter Pie is a fabulous make-ahead dessert. It’s best made the day before because it needs eight hours to set up.
