Description
This Old Fashioned Amish Peanut Butter Dream Pie is a no-bake dessert made with a buttery graham cracker crust, fluffy peanut butter crumble, and a luscious whipped filling. It’s rich, creamy, and nostalgic—perfect for potlucks, holidays, or whenever a sweet craving strikes.
Ingredients
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar with a fork until a crumbly texture forms. Reserve half for topping.
2. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining peanut butter crumbles and milk. Mix until creamy.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined. Do not overmix to preserve the airy texture.
4. Spread the filling evenly into the graham cracker crust.
5. Sprinkle reserved peanut butter crumbles on top and garnish with chocolate shavings.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
7. Slice, serve cold, and enjoy!
Notes
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
Use processed peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) to ensure a stable, creamy filling.
For a firmer slice, chill overnight rather than the minimum 4 hours.
