Description

Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a luscious, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese filling layered in a graham cracker crust and topped with a crumbly peanut butter mixture. This pie combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and vanilla pudding to create a light, airy texture perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base and Topping

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pudding Layer

  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly and not smooth. This mixture will form both the base layer inside the crust and the topping for the pie. Be careful not to overmix to avoid turning it into a paste.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and airy, resembling whipped frosting.
  3. Prepare the Crust: Spread half of the peanut butter crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust. Gently press down to form a solid crumb layer for the pie base.
  4. Make the Pudding: In another bowl, whisk the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix together vigorously for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly.
  5. Combine Layers: Fold the thickened vanilla pudding into the whipped cream cheese mixture until completely combined and creamy without deflating the fluffiness.
  6. Fill the Crust: Pour the combined cream filling over the peanut butter crumb layer inside the crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  7. Top and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles evenly over the surface of the pie. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to set properly, or preferably overnight for optimal texture and flavor melding.

Notes

  • For variation, swap vanilla pudding mix with chocolate pudding for a Reese’s-style chocolate peanut butter flavor.
  • Use an Oreo crust instead of a graham cracker crust for a different twist.
  • Serve the pie chilled or slightly softened at room temperature for 10 minutes for the best taste.
  • Add toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, chopped peanuts, shaved chocolate, or a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor and presentation.
  • Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze, wrap tightly and store in the freezer for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
