Print Recipe

Amish Peanut Butter Pie is a rich, creamy no-bake dessert combining smooth peanut butter, tangy cream cheese, and fluffy whipped topping on a buttery graham cracker crust. This indulgent pie offers a perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by pressing your graham cracker crumbs into a pie dish, mixing in melted butter until well combined. Chill in the fridge to set while preparing the filling, ensuring that crisp base for your pie.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: Using a mixer, blend the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until the mixture is silky smooth and fully combined, creating that rich, creamy foundation.
  3. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until everything is evenly mixed and the filling tastes perfectly sweetened and aromatic.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to lighten the filling, giving the pie its fluffy texture without losing the dense peanut butter richness.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate the pie for several hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to set and develop those creamy layers.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: softened cream cheese and peanut butter mix more smoothly than cold versions.
  • Don’t overbeat: mixing filling too much can make it runny; fold whipped topping gently to maintain fluffiness.
  • Chill thoroughly: letting the pie sit overnight improves the texture and flavor melding.
  • Crust pressing: firmly press the crust into the pan to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Use fresh peanut butter: avoid oily or separated peanut butter for the best consistency.
