Yoder's Peanut Butter Cream Pie

3 inch pie crust, baked
3 cups whipped cream

Pudding
1 cup cold milk
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 egg yolks
3 cups milk
3 tsp butter/margerine
3/4 cup sugar

Crumb Mixture
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 tsp cocoa powder

To make pudding:
Mix corn starch, salt, 1 cup milk, egg yolks and vanilla with a wire wisk and set aside.
Heat 3 cups milk, butter and sugar until scalding, stirring constantly. Add cornstarch mixture to hot milk while stirring with whisk. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat before boiling.
Place pudding in refrigerator to chill. Stir every 10 minutes.

To make crumbs:
Mix powdered sugar, cocoa, and peanut butter until small crumbs form (with mixer).
Place 1/2 crumbs into pie shell. Spoon pudding onto crumbs. Place remaining crumbs on top of pudding, reserving a little for the topping. Top with whipped cream (homemade is best, but cool whip will work).
