In my world there are 2 types of peanut butter pie, I love them both, but they are different. Amish peanut butter pie actually has very little peanut butter in it and is a delicious, lighter pie. The other type is thick, heavy and loaded with peanut butter. Thanks to the Amish population in the Sarasota, FL area we have a few great Amish restaurants in our area. If you want good home cooking, go to an Amish restaurant. Yoder’s is one of those restaurants. Earlier this month Yoder’s posted their famous Peanut Butter Pie recipe on Facebook with the caption “If you’re too far away to swing by and pick up a pie for Super Bowl this Sunday…You can still enjoy your favorite!” I was so excited to have that recipe I decided to make it for Ron for Valentine’s Day.

Yoder's Amish Peanut Butter Pie is a classic, light pudding pie with peanut butter crumbles. It is a perfect treat for the whole family.

This recipe calls for you to scald the milk, something I have heard of but had never done. I did some research and found out that back in the day milk was scalded to kill bacteria and an enzyme that prevented thickening. Nowadays most milk is pasteurized so the bacteria and enzyme are already gone when we purchase our milk. Scalding milk raises the temperature of the milk which helps make yeast breads lighter, sponge cakes fluffier, and it helps bring out the flavors from extracts and other flavorings. To scald milk you simply heat it to just before boiling 180°F then remove from heat and let cool to at least 110°F before adding other ingredients to the milk.

    First of all, I am obsessed with this pie in real life. I insist on a pie trip to Yoder’s EVERY time I visit my family in Sarasota. The pie was surprisingly easy to “reproduce” at home and was a HUGE hit at the dinner party for which I made it. I substituted graham cracker crust, as I am not great with pastry. It was actually really tasty, although I did feel badly messing with the classic. The pudding did not seem to have the right consistency after chilling (a bit gloppy), but when assembled it all came together beautifully. All in all, I was very pleased and will make again.

    My custard was too thick. Didn’t seem to be until it was chilled. Taste lumpy and too firm. Not the creamy taste I’m used too. Maybe less cornstarch???

    This pie was such a huge hit! So long story short, my boyfriend is a chef and not a big fan of sweets in general- it was his birthday dinner- so in place of a cake I asked him what his favorite pie is and he said Amish style peanut butter.
    I like to bake, but was intimidated to make a pie deemed Amish (I think its part of their genetic makeup to be be able to pie-make!) Anyway, I made it with love and followed this recipe – WOW! talk about crowd-pleaser. Chef boyfriend said I LOVE this pie- I’ve never heard him rave over any dessert, so thanks for helping me make his day even more special:)
