Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie is an old-fashioned, no-bake style pie made with a flaky baked crust, fluffy peanut butter crumbles, a silky peanut butter pudding filling, and a cloud of whipped cream on top. It tastes like a cross between peanut butter pie and vanilla cream pie, with those signature sweet-salty crumbles running through every bite.
Why you’ll love this pie
This pie uses simple pantry ingredients—instant pudding, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and whipped topping—to recreate the classic Amish-style peanut butter cream pies found in country diners and Amish restaurants. There’s no stove-top custard and no gelatin; the instant pudding thickens quickly, so you get clean slices with minimal effort.
The peanut butter “crumbs” are what make it special: a mixture of peanut butter and powdered sugar sprinkled under and over the filling, so you get little pops of sweet, nutty flavor in every forkful. It’s an excellent make-ahead dessert for holidays, potlucks, and church suppers because it slices beautifully after an overnight chill.
