Where Did This Recipe for Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie Come From?
Do you ever find yourself craving a deliciously rich and creamy dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without being too overpowering? Look no further than the irresistible peanut butter pie, Amish homemade style. This delectable treat combines the classic flavors of peanut butter and pie into one melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Not sure where it originated from, but if you are ever in my neck of the woods, you must go to Das Dutchman Essenhaus!! That’s where I first had my first slice of this peanut butter cream pie and it was pretty much love at first bite!
Das Dutchman Essenhaus is a unique Amish style restaurant located in Middlebury, Indiana close to Shipshewana, in the heart of Amish country. Plus, it has an inn, bakery, catering, a huge gift shop and lots of pies, rolls, cookies and more!
After browsing a bit, because we loved the peanut butter pie so much, we ended up buying one from Essenhaus’s bakery for the kids to take home to eat later.
We brought it home, but we couldn’t wait for the kids ya see? We ate the pie and from that point on we had a little Peanut Butter Cream Pie drama….
Peanut Butter Cream Pie Drama!
My husband, who isn’t even an avid fan of peanut butter, went completely ga-ga over it. I was kind of in shock how completely ga-ga he really was. Umm…Mind you, this pie wasn’t even meant for us, it was for the kids, right?
I guess that’s what happens when you leave us home alone…and with an Amish peanut butter cream pie. Pretty dangerous! More specifically, a lonely looking Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie at that! Didn’t last. It didn’t even have a chance.
The hubs liked it so much, he basically double -dared me, I wouldn’t be able to duplicate it. So, I had to re-invent no bake Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie.
Who’s he kidding? He should never tell me I can’t do something. (especially like make a pie? ha!) and…Because we ate the kids pie. (bad parents & DRAMA!)
Get ready to learn how to make your own peanut butter pie Amish style, and impress your friends and family!

Tiffany, thank you so much for your awesome review and so happy to hear you all love it better! Happy Holidays! xo
I have made this probably 26 times now and it has YET to disappoint. I have had my daughter’s friends come over, try it and have their parents ask for the recipe. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter but I can absolutely and easily eat this on a weekly basis. This pie is requsted once a week here. Adding that we don’t live far from Amish country, but this pie BLOWS their pies out of the water. If you haven’t made this yet, it’s a MUST.
That is so awesome Emily! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! So cool! Happy Holidays!
I was searching high and low online for a peanut butter pie recipe with the crumbles like this. I found you, and realized why I wanted this- I worked for Das Essenhaus when I was young! Small world. Thank you for sharing this- I can’t wait to try it!
So glad you enjoyed it Karen! It’s one of my husband’s favorite pies! Thanks for making it!
One of our favorite pies! Keep ingredients on hand for a last minute dessert!
I use less whipped topping on top and use more peanut butter snd topping in the filling
I hear you! I’m so happy to hear it is your favorite peanut butter recipe!! Thank you sooooo much! xo
This is by far my favorite peanut butter pie recipe. I thought I’d miss the graham cracker crust but the regular pie crust was fine.
Delish.!!! Not too rich as my usual peanut butter pie. Nice and smooth like a mousse. Easy to make!
Absolutely wonderful. Tastes just like the pie I get from Amish when I’m in Ohio. This is one of our favorites. I’ve made it several times!
Great ideas Em! So happy to hear you found more ways to peanut butter-ize it ! 🙂 Thank you so much and Happy Holidays!
I have made this several times and my family loves it! If you want to put it over the top add a little bit of peanut butter to the cool whip or whipped cream! It will taste decadent and really rich. You can either add pb fit flavoring or add actual peanut butter. I use 1/4 cup for 16 ozs of cool whip. This has become a family favorite!!!
Yes you absolutely can! Enjoy Joann and this is my mom’s favorite pie!!! Thanks for commenting. xo
This looks delicious. Peanut Butter Pie is my dad’s favorite pie. I was wondering if you can put this in a graham cracker crust? Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Hi Christy, I’ve updated that information for you in the recipe based on 8 servings. Thanks!
Thank you Tina! I hope you try it! xo
I would love to know the serving size and the caloric intake for this pie
Looks delicious
The Amish peanut butter pie I had from Der Dutchman which is a amish restaurant used meringue on top. Also, the custard doesn’t have peanut butter in it other than the peanut butter crumbles on the bottom and top of pie. I think peanut butter mixed in the custard might even be better.
Very nice! I can see why you would like it!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
my mom makes something similar with real homemade custard and meringue! amazing!
Are you overbeating the pudding? Use really cold milk to get best results and maybe add just a little less milk since something is not clearly working for you. I don’t know what brand of whipped cream you are using, but do not use the spray can whipped cream. It does break down. Other than that, I don’t know! Hope that helps! xo
Mine keeps coming out soupy and idk what to do
That sounds amazing with the biscoff cookie crust and putting it in mason jars! You’re absolutely right, it can’t be bad! hehe I’m so happy it has turned out with your different variations. Thank you so much Amy!! xo
I’ve made this so many times now and it is ALWAYS a hit. Making it in little mason jars to take to a dinner party this weekend and using biscoff for the crust. Excited to see how that turns out. (Not sure how it can be bad! ????) Also have made this with almond milk and coco whip a few times and it’s still wonderful. My hubby would eat the whole pie if I’d let him. Thanks for a great (& easy) recipe!!
Me too der dutchman
Sure can! Hope you enjoy!
Can I use a graham cracker crust?
If you use anything to prepare the home-made whipped cream where the bowl, the beaters and the heavy cream might be on the warm side, you will have issu
es.
I just whip whipping cream, using a mixer on medium-high speed until I start to get stiff peaks and I like to add powdered sugar to stabilize it. Whip it all together and don’t over-whip. That can cause the whipped cream to break down.
I use 3 tablespoons per 1 cup of whipping cream when preparing, but sometimes I will add up to 1/3 cup, depending on what consistency I want. If you use the canned whipped cream, it will always melt. It only stays pretty for a very short time. You can always use the prepared Cool-whip as well, but I think it’s the best using fresh whipped cream and it doesn’t take that long to make. Hope that helps!
We used to go to the Amish country and get this. I cannot believe I found this recipe and it taste exactly like I remember it. Thank you!!!
How do you get the whip cream to set up? I made this with both homemade whipped cream and out of a can and they both melt. What is the secret?
Thanks again!
