Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust 9-inch, baked and cooled or make your own crust
Peanut Butter Crumbles
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 3.4 ounce box of instant Jell-O vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup whipped cream or 1 cup of cool whip
Whipped Topping On Top of Pie
- 2 cups whipped cream or 1- 8 oz. container of cool whip for topping. If making whipped cream, using mixer, whip together on medium-high 1 cup of whipping cream and 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to get whipped cream texture. 1 cup of whipping cream makes 2 cups when whipped.
Instructions
Peanut Butter Crumbles
- Using an electric mixer, in a medium bowl, add powdered sugar and peanut butter.
- Mix on medium speed until small peanut butter crumbles start to come together.
- If mixture is too powdery, simply add a few drops of water to the and larger nuggets will form.
- Add half the peanut butter nuggets to the bottom of the pie shell.
Peanut Butter Filling
- Using a mixer, mix together the dry vanilla instant pudding mix, milk and peanut butter together for 2 minutes.
- Add in the whipped cream (make sure it's already whipped) and mix in lightly.
- Pour pudding into pie crust on top of the peanut butter crumbles.
Whipped Cream Topping and Crumbles
- Top with whipped cream.
- Add half the remaining peanut butter crumbles (or as many as you want) to the top whipped cream.
- Let the pie cool in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to set up before cutting.
Notes
- Make it frozen and sneak slices whenever you want! I won't tell! After finished, put in freezer and slice a piece or two or three when ready to indulge. When serving, let sit for 5 mins after slicing and then serve.
- You can make the pie more peanut buttery by adding a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter or you can make it more creamy by adding a 1/2 more cup of whipped cream to the peanut butter pie filling. We like it as written, but I've had it several ways when I was experimenting.
