Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• beat confectioners' sugar and peanut butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. spread peanut butter mixture into prepared pie crust as evenly as possible.
• whisk water, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon white sugar together in a saucepan; bring to a boil for 15 seconds, stirring constantly. remove saucepan from heat and cover with a lid.
• beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
• beat cream of tartar and vanilla into egg whites. gradually add 1/2 cup white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• beat cornstarch mixture into egg white mixture on lowest speed, 1 tablespoon at a time. increase speed to medium and beat egg whites for 10 seconds to form meringue. spread meringue over peanut butter mixture to the edges of the pie crust.
• bake in the preheated oven until meringue peaks are golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
