Description
This creamy no-bake Amish peanut butter dream pie features a graham cracker crust and fluffy peanut butter filling. A comforting, easy dessert perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
Optional Topping:
½ cup whipped cream or whipped topping
Peanut butter drizzle or crushed peanuts
Instructions
Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
Add melted butter and stir until it resembles wet sand.
Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Prepare Peanut Butter Base
Beat peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and thick.
Add Cream Cheese
Mix in softened cream cheese and vanilla extract.
Beat until fully smooth and lump-free.
Whip the Cream
In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Fold Together
Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in two parts.
Use a spatula and fold slowly to keep the mixture airy.
Assemble the Pie
Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
Top and Serve
Before serving, top with whipped cream, peanut butter drizzle, or crushed peanuts.
Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
Notes
Use real creamy peanut butter, not whipped or natural with oil separation.
Powdered sugar ensures a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The pie sets naturally in the fridge—no gelatin needed.
Best served chilled; ideal for make-ahead prep.
