Reese Marbled Pie With Rice Krispie Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 c. Rice Krispie crumbs
1/4 c. sugar
6 Tbsp. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
3 egg yolks
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
6 Tbsp. sugar

Preparation

Combine cereal crumbs, sugar and 6 tablespoons butter with a fork.
Using the back of a spoon, press mixture inside a 9-inch pie plate to cover bottom and sides evenly.
Bake at 375 for 5-6 minutes; set on wire rack to cool.
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan.
Gradually stir in milk.
Cook and stir 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir a moderate amount of the hot mixture into yolks and immediately return to hot mixture in pan.
Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, and remove from heat.
Add butter and peanut butter and let mixture cool to lukewarm.
Barely stir in chocolate chips, so mixture looks marbled.
Pour into crust. Prepare meringue by beating egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff and glossy peaks form and all sugar is dissolved.
Spread meringue over warm filling, sealing to edge of pie shell.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool.
