Description

This Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a luscious no-bake dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese filling layered with instant vanilla pudding and a crunchy graham cracker crust. Topped with peanut butter crumbles, this pie offers a perfect balance of rich, sweet, and nutty flavors, ideal for any occasion and ready in just over four hours with minimal active preparation.

Ingredients

Crust & Topping

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

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside half of this mixture to be used later as a topping for the pie.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well incorporated.
  3. Layer Peanut Butter Crumble: Take the pre-made graham cracker pie crust and evenly spread half of the prepared peanut butter crumbles on the bottom to create a crunchy peanut butter layer.
  4. Prepare Vanilla Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the instant vanilla pudding mix until the mixture thickens, usually around 2 minutes. Fold the thickened pudding mixture gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Pour the combined filling evenly over the peanut butter crumble layer in the graham cracker crust. Then, sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles on top to finish the pie.
  6. Chill and Set: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set firmly and the flavors to meld together before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Use a pre-made crust to save time without compromising flavor.
  • The pie needs to chill for at least 4 hours to properly set; overnight chilling will improve texture.
  • For extra decoration, consider adding chopped peanuts or whipped cream on top before serving.
  • This pie is best served chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator.
