Description

This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is a creamy, decadent dessert that’s easy to prepare and perfect for peanut butter lovers. Made with a graham cracker crust and a luscious peanut butter cream cheese filling, it requires no baking and is chilled to set. Topped with your choice of crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or chocolate drizzle, this pie is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate drizzle
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. This creates a rich and velvety base for the pie.
  2. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, balancing the richness with sweetness.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until the filling is light and fluffy, ensuring an airy texture.
  4. Fill the Crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula for a clean presentation.
  5. Chill to Set: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld and texture to stabilize.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with desired toppings such as crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, chocolate drizzle, or additional whipped cream to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a homemade crust, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/3 cup melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, press into a pie dish, and chill before filling.
  • For a firmer texture, freeze the pie and serve slightly thawed.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
