Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust.
- Spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set. Overnight chilling works best if you want a firmer slice.
Step 4: Add the Topping
- Whip ½ cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Pipe or dollop the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a decadent finish.
Tips for the Perfect Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and peanut butter are soft for smooth mixing.
- Folding Technique: When folding whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, use gentle motions to avoid deflating it.
- Crust Variations: For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or using a chocolate cookie crust instead.
- Serving: Slice with a hot, wet knife to achieve clean edges.
