Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie – A Rich & Creamy Slice of Comfort
I owe a huge thank you to my Amish friend who first introduced me to this recipe. I still remember the first bite — silky, peanut-buttery bliss with a cloud of whipped cream on top. I may or may not have gone back for a second slice before dinner (don’t judge).
This isn’t just any pie. It’s comfort in a crust, a dessert that’s humble in its ingredients yet rich in flavor. The best part? You can use a pre-baked crust, which means more time for savoring and less time stressing over pastry.
If peanut butter holds a special place in your heart, you’re about to find your new favorite pie. And if you’re not yet subscribed to my recipe updates, go ahead and do it now — you’ll never miss a gem like this!
