Description

This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is an incredibly creamy and delicious dessert that comes together quickly without turning on the oven. Featuring a smooth peanut butter and cream cheese filling, sweetened with powdered sugar and vanilla, folded with whipped topping, and set in a crunchy graham cracker crust, it’s perfect for peanut butter lovers seeking an easy, crowd-pleasing treat. Garnished with extra whipped topping and crushed peanuts or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor, this pie is a rich but effortless indulgence.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Crust and Garnish

  • 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • Additional whipped topping for topping the pie
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips for garnish


Instructions

  1. Mix the peanut butter and cream cheese: In a large bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated and the filling is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Mix carefully to keep the filling light and airy without deflating the whipped topping.
  4. Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface evenly.
  5. Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
  6. Add final toppings and serve: Before serving, spread additional whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie. Garnish with crushed peanuts and, if desired, mini chocolate chips to add texture and flavor. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a stronger peanut butter flavor, increase the peanut butter by an additional tablespoon.
  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham cracker crust for a richer twist.
  • Freeze the pie to enjoy a firmer, ice-cream-like texture perfect for summer.
