Ingredients

This Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie uses simple, pantry-friendly ingredients you likely already have on hand. The key is in the layers: a sweet graham cracker crust, creamy filling, and that irresistible peanut butter crumb topping!

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Peanut Butter Crumbs:

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

For the Filling:

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

For the Topping:

• Extra whipped topping (optional)
• Extra peanut butter crumbs (set some aside from above)

Instructions

This no-bake Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie comes together in layers, and each one is packed with sweet, nutty flavor. Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have a show-stopping dessert with minimal effort!

1. Make the Crust:

• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
• Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Crumbs:

• In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter and powdered sugar until crumbly.
• Use a fork to break up large pieces. Set aside about 1/4 cup for topping.

3. Make the Filling:

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Pie:

• Sprinkle a layer of the peanut butter crumbs over the chilled crust.
• Pour in the peanut butter filling and spread evenly with a spatula.
• Add a final layer of whipped topping, if using.
• Sprinkle the reserved peanut butter crumbs on top.

5. Chill:

• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is even better for perfect slices.

Tips and Variations

Want to make this Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie your own? Here are some fun and easy ways to switch it up or simplify it even more:

• Swap the crust: Use a pre-made graham cracker crust or try an Oreo crust for a chocolate-peanut butter twist.
• Add chocolate: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving or mix mini chocolate chips into the filling.
• Go crunchy: Use crunchy peanut butter for a bit of texture in the filling and the crumbs.
• Make it lighter: Use light cream cheese and whipped topping to cut down on calories without losing flavor.
• Top it off: Garnish with chopped peanuts, a drizzle of caramel, or even some shaved chocolate for an extra-special finish.
• Mini pies: Use mini pie crusts or a muffin tin with liners to create personal-size versions—great for parties or meal prep!

Storage

One of the best things about this pie—besides how amazing it tastes—is how well it stores. It’s perfect for making ahead or enjoying over a few days.

• Refrigerator: Store the pie in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 4–5 days.
• Freezer: You can freeze the whole pie (or individual slices) for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic and then foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

The texture holds up beautifully, even after chilling or freezing!
