Yummmm!!! truly an awesome pie! Followed recipe exactly-didn't have any problems with lumps! Kids asked for seconds for dessert. Drizzled chocolate syrup on top for decoration. Thank you for sharing!!!

This is the BEST peanut butter pie, custard based rather than instant pudding or coolwhip. Only reason I gave it a four rather than five stars is that it became very lumpy after cooking. I was able to get the lumps out using my hand-held blender. I followed instructions exactly, including the dissolving the cornstarch and using a heavy pot. I had to stove on setting 6 of 9. Maybe that was too hot? Thanks Syd, this is definitely a keeper!
