- Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla; mix until creamy.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Pie

- Smooth the top with a spatula.

5. Chill

⭐ Tips for the Perfect Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture.
- For extra peanut butter flavor, swirl in 2–3 tbsp melted peanut butter on top of the filling before chilling.
- Chill well — this pie slices beautifully after it’s fully set.
- You can make a chocolate crust by using chocolate cookie crumbs for a twist.
If you want, I can also give a decadent chocolate-peanut butter version that tastes like a Reese’s-inspired dream pie.
Do you want me to make that version too?
