How to Make Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Crust
Press a chocolate cookie crust into a pie dish or use a pre-made crust for convenience. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling so it stays firm.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Make sure everything is well-combined and there are no lumps.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. You want it to hold shape but still be fluffy. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared chocolate crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until the filling is set.
Step 5: Add Whipped Cream and Toppings
Once the pie has chilled and is set, add a generous layer of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or peanut butter cookies over the whipped cream for a bit of crunch.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice up this creamy, dreamy pie and enjoy the sweet and salty goodness of peanut butter and chocolate in every bite.
