- Beat together the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter till the mix is crumbly; set aside.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, combine 2/3 c. granulated sugar and 2 c. lowfat milk; heat to scalding or possibly till bubbles start to create on the bottom. Don't let boil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks to mix; blend in 3 Tbsp. cornstarch, flour and salt. Stir to make a paste. Whisk in the remaining 1 c. cool lowfat milk, whisking till the mix is smooth. Pour in some of the warm lowfat milk mix, stirring to combine.
- Add in mix in bowl to the lowfat milk in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, till the mix bubbles up in the center. Add in the butter and 1 tsp. vanilla. Remove from heat and let custard cold. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sprinkle 2/3 of the crumbly peanut butter mix in the bottom of the baked and cooled pastry shell. Pour the cooled custard mix over the top. In a large mixer bowl, place the egg whites, cream of tartar and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla. Beat till stiff peaks form. Gradually, while beating, add in the 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar and remaining 3 Tbsp. cornstarch. Continue beating till whites are very thick and glossy.
- Spread on top of pie; sprinkle the remaining peanut butter mix on top. Bake for 10 to 15 min, watching carefully, or possibly till the meringue is golden. Cold. Makes 8 servings.
