Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Creamy peanut butter | 1 jar (14–16 oz) |
| Frozen raw pie crust, broken into pieces | 1 (9-inch) crust |
| Whole milk | 2 cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Large eggs, lightly beaten | 3 |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly coat the inside of a 4–6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Break the frozen pie crust into small pieces and distribute them evenly across the bottom.
Step 2: Add the Peanut Butter
Spoon the peanut butter over the crust pieces, spreading it as evenly as possible across the surface.
Step 3: Prepare the Custard Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until blended. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Carefully pour the mixture into the slow cooker over the peanut butter and crust. Leave the layers undisturbed and do not stir.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. The dessert is ready when the edges appear set while the center remains slightly soft.
Step 5: Allow to Rest
Turn off the slow cooker and keep the lid on. Let the pie rest for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the filling to finish setting before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm for a soft, comforting dessert.
- Chill before serving for a firmer texture.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
- Finish with a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added indulgence.
