Description

This Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a luscious dessert featuring a crisp pie crust layered with crunchy peanut butter crumbles, a creamy peanut butter pudding filling, and topped with fluffy whipped cream and more peanut butter crumbles. It’s a delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for peanut butter lovers looking for a no-bake, refrigerator-set pie with a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy textures.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 pie crust 9-inch, baked and cooled (store-bought or homemade)

Peanut Butter Crumbles

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup peanut butter

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant Jell-O vanilla pudding mix
  • 1½ cups milk
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup whipped topping or 1 cup Cool Whip (already whipped)

Whipped Topping

  • 2 cups whipped topping or 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip for topping
  • Alternatively, 1 cup whipping cream plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (whipped to make 2 cups whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Crumbles: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the powdered sugar and peanut butter on medium speed until small peanut butter crumbles form. If the mixture feels too powdery, add a few drops of water until larger nuggets start to form. Reserve half of the crumbles.
  2. Prepare the Pie Crust Base: Add half of the peanut butter crumbles to the bottom of the baked and cooled 9-inch pie crust, spreading evenly to create a crunchy base layer.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and peanut butter using a mixer for 2 minutes until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip or whipped cream), making sure it is already whipped, mixing lightly to keep the filling airy.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter pudding filling over the peanut butter crumb base in the pie crust, smoothing the top as needed.
  5. Add Whipped Topping and Crumbles: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the peanut butter filling. Sprinkle the remaining half of the peanut butter crumbles over the whipped topping for garnish.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow it to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an indulgent frozen treat, freeze the pie after assembling. Slice directly from the freezer when ready to enjoy and let the slices sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  • To intensify the peanut butter flavor, add an extra couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the filling mixture.
  • For a creamier filling, increase the whipped topping by ½ cup when mixing into the peanut butter pudding layer.
  • The pie can be made with store-bought or homemade crust depending on preference.
