How to Make Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Crumbles
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and ¼ cup peanut butter together using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, milk, and ½ cup peanut butter for about 2 minutes, or until thick and smooth.
Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Sprinkle half of the peanut butter crumbles into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
Spoon in the peanut butter filling and spread it out evenly.
Top the filling with the whipped cream, spreading or piping it over the surface.

Step 4: Final Touch
Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles evenly over the whipped topping.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the pie to fully set and makes for cleaner slices.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled straight from the fridge
• Garnish with chocolate curls or a drizzle of melted peanut butter
• Pair with a cup of hot coffee or cold milk for the perfect bite

Tips for Success

• Use creamy peanut butter (not natural) for the best texture
• Make sure your pie crust is completely cooled before adding the filling
• Let the pie chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results

FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes! Use 1 cup for the filling and 2 cups for the topping. Just sweeten it to your taste.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?
It’s best to stick with creamy for the crumbles and filling, but crunchy could work in a pinch.

How long does this pie keep?
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered loosely with plastic wrap.
