Amish Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

 

The Irresistible Amish Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie That’s Always the First to Disappear

There are desserts... and then there’s Amish Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie — a rich, creamy, downright dangerous pie that has a permanent spot on our family’s favorites list. If you’re a fan of chocolate and peanut butter (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), this is one recipe you absolutely need in your life.

A Classic Amish-Inspired Treat

The Amish are known for their simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious recipes — and this pie is no exception. It’s the perfect marriage of silky chocolate and smooth, nutty peanut butter, all nestled into a buttery, flaky pie crust. It’s like a giant peanut butter cup… only better.

This isn’t a complicated dessert. It doesn’t require fancy ingredients or special tools. What it does require is a serious sweet tooth — and maybe a second slice. It’s a hit at every gathering, potluck, and holiday meal. In fact, when I make it for my family, it rarely lasts more than a few hours. It’s that good.

What Makes It So Special?

• Creamy layers: A velvety chocolate filling topped with a dreamy peanut butter layer — or sometimes swirled together for a marbled effect.

• Old-fashioned goodness: The recipe stays true to its Amish roots — no shortcuts, no preservatives, just real ingredients and old-school flavor.

• Easy to make: It looks like something from a bakery, but it’s totally doable for home bakers of any skill level.

1. Make the chocolate layer:
   In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Let it cool and set slightly in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.

2. Make the peanut butter layer:
   In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.

3. Assemble the pie:
   Spread the peanut butter mixture over the cooled chocolate layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
