Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a rich, creamy, and delicious dessert that combines the perfect balance of peanut butter and sweetness. The creamy filling pairs wonderfully with the graham cracker crust for an irresistible treat. Here’s how to make it:
Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and granulated sugar, continuing to mix until well combined.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand, but an electric mixer will make it faster.
3. Combine the Mixtures:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. This will create a light, airy filling.
4. Fill the Pie Crust:
- Spread the peanut butter cream mixture evenly into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Chill:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set and become firm.
6. Serve:
- Once set, slice the pie and serve. You can garnish with additional whipped cream, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra touch.
Tips:
- For Extra Peanut Butter Flavor: You can top the pie with chopped peanuts, peanut butter cups, or drizzle some extra peanut butter over the top.
- No Graham Cracker Crust? You can make your own crust by crushing graham crackers and mixing with melted butter to press into a pie dish before filling it.
- For a Richer Pie: Add more cream cheese to the filling for a thicker and even richer texture.
This Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a must-try for peanut butter lovers. It’s smooth, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Enjoy! 🥜🍰
