Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Recipe Variations and Swaps

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie: Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top of the peanut butter filling for an extra indulgent twist. Simply melt chocolate and heavy cream together, spread over the filling, and chill.
• Crunchy Peanut Butter: If you prefer some texture in your filling, use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for a bit of extra crunch.
• Whipped Topping Alternative: If you’re short on time, use store-bought whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream to save a step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
It’s best to use traditional creamy peanut butter, as natural peanut butter tends to separate and could affect the texture of the filling. However, if you prefer natural peanut butter, make sure it’s well-stirred and smooth before adding it to the filling.

How do I prevent my crust from becoming soggy?
Blind-baking the crust (pre-baking it without filling) ensures it stays crisp and flaky, even with the creamy filling. Be sure to cool the crust completely before pouring in the peanut butter mixture.

Can I make this pie gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap the regular flour in the crust for a gluten-free flour blend. You can also use a gluten-free graham cracker crust for an easy alternative.
