Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4-5 tbsp ice water

(Shortcut: Use a pre-made graham cracker or pastry crust!)

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (not natural—use regular for best texture!)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped + sweetened
  • Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions 👩

1. Make the Pie Crust (or Prep Shortcut)

  1. For homemade crust: Mix flour + salt, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough forms. Chill 30 mins, roll out, and blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 mins until golden. Cool completely.
  2. For pre-made crust: Simply thaw or bake as directed.

2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling

  1. Beat peanut butter + cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Mix in powdered sugar + vanilla.
  3. Gently fold in whipped cream until fully combined.

3. Assemble & Chill

  • Spread filling into the cooled crust.
  • Top with additional whipped cream and garnish with peanuts or chocolate.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).

Pro Tips for the Perfect Pie 🔥

✔ Use regular peanut butter (natural PB can make the filling too oily).
✔ Keep crust cold before baking to prevent shrinkage.
✔ For extra richness, add a layer of chocolate ganache under the filling.

✔ Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days (if it lasts that long!).

Serving Suggestions 🍽️

✨ With a drizzle of caramel or hot fudge for extra decadence.
✨ Pair with a cold glass of milk – The ultimate combo!
✨ Top with mini Reese’s cups for a fun twist.

Final Verdict: Pure Peanut Butter Bliss!

This Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is smooth, luscious, and just sweet enough—a dessert that feels like a warm hug. Every bite will have you coming back for “just one more” slice.
