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!)
