This pie is a refreshing, cold one. The filling is a basic custard with peanut butter and peanut butter chips melted into it. My kids thought it tasted like candy. I imagine it would be good with a chocolate crust. We squirted it with chocolate syrup as a garnish.You make it in the microwave; easy as pie. (pun intended) If you use a store bought crust, you can whip this baby up in about 15 minutes. If you want a gluten free dessert, use a gf crust like Bob’s Red Mill’s pie crust mix. The filling is gluten free by itself.
