This easy, no-bake Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie relies on beating softened butter and PB until light and fluffy. Includes complete cooking instructions and detailed nutritional breakdown.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed and divided
  • 1 (9-inch) pre-baked pie shell

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste to the peanut butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until the filling is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter filling using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  4. Step 4: Carefully spoon the peanut butter cream filling into the pre-baked pie shell, spreading it evenly across the bottom and sides.
  5. Step 5: Cover the assembled pie lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, top the chilled pie with the remaining whipped topping and garnish as desired (optional: sprinkle with crushed peanuts).

Notes

  • Store leftover pie covered loosely with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the crust may soften slightly after the first day.
  • Because this is a chilled cream pie, do not attempt to reheat; if you prefer to freeze leftovers, wrap tightly and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • For an extra indulgence, drizzle each slice lightly with melted chocolate sauce or sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt just before serving to enhance the peanut flavor.
  • When folding in the whipped topping, handle the mixture with great care using a rubber spatula; over-mixing will deflate the air and result in a heavy, dense filling rather than a light cream texture.
