Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie

WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

If you’re a peanut butter lover, this Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is about to become your new obsession. One luscious bite of this dreamy, creamy, peanut butter-loaded pie and you’ll be utterly smitten.

It starts with a crisp pie crust base, whether you opt for a buttery homemade version or a store-bought shortcut. This provides the perfect foundation for layering up all that velvety peanut butter goodness within.

The filling itself is where the real magic happens. It’s a decadently rich and creamy concoction made by blending up smooth peanut butter with instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and a cloud of fresh whipped cream. As the pudding sets, it achieves this luxurious, mousse-like texture that’s the ideal delivery vehicle for tons of salty-sweet peanut butter flavor.

But that’s just the beginning! This pie gets even more irresistible with the addition of crunchy peanut butter crumble layers. You’ll mash up some peanut butter with powdered sugar to form addictive little nuggets that are both crunchy and chewy. Half of those get sprinkled directly in the pie crust before being smothered in peanut butter pudding. The other half get strewn on top as the crowning glory.

Every bite hits every part of your palate – the delicate sweetness of the pudding filling, the bold roasted peanut notes that saturate every forkful, the contrasting crunches of crumble and crispy crust. It’s a textural rhapsody with layer upon layer of peanut butter indulgence.

As if that weren’t enough, the entire pie then gets blanketed in one more pillowy layer of lightly sweetened whipped cream. This light, airy topping provides the perfect fluffy counterpoint to all that rich density below. Plus it makes for a gorgeous presentation topped with more crunchy peanut butter crumbles peeking through.

While admittedly a bit over-the-top in the most fabulous way, this Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is truly greater than the sum of its parts. You get to experience multiple peanut butter cravings satisfied in a single bite – the creamy indulgence, the salty-sweetness, the chewy factor, the crunchy contrast. It’s a dream come true for any true peanut butter fanatic.

The best part is just how stunningly easy it is to whip up this irresistible peanut butter pie. With just 15 minutes of active prep and a handful of staple ingredients, you’ll be in peanut butter paradise before you know it. Simply let it chill for a couple hours to set up into lush, velvety, crumb-studded perfection.

While rich and indulgent enough for special celebrations, this peanut butter pie is also just the kind of decadent treat you’ll want around for anytime snacking and cravings.
