Crust Ingredients:

Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese at medium speed until silky and velvety, approximately 2-3 minutes.

- In a separate mixing vessel, transform heavy cream into a fluffy landscape with stiff peaks forming.

- Infuse the mixture with vanilla extract, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the luxurious filling into a pre-prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring uniform distribution across the surface.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and texture to set completely.
- Prior to serving, embellish with additional whipped cream and crushed graham crackers for textural contrast.
- Slice the chilled pie and savor the creamy, nutty decadence of this classic Amish dessert.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing that blends perfectly into the filling.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and smooth peanut butter for a rich, decadent texture that melts in your mouth.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crust to accommodate dietary needs.
- Chill pie thoroughly to help filling set firmly, allowing clean, picture-perfect slices when serving guests or family.
