Description

This no-bake peanut butter pie is a creamy, indulgent dessert perfect for peanut butter lovers. Combining smooth peanut butter, cream cheese, and a light whipped topping in a crisp graham cracker crust, this pie is easy to prepare without any oven time. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set for a luscious, fluffy treat that serves 8.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and mix thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, stirring carefully to keep the texture light and fluffy without deflating it.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow it to set completely and firm up for easy slicing.
  6. Serve: Before serving, garnish with optional toppings such as chocolate shavings, additional whipped cream, or crushed peanuts to add extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This pie does not require baking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and peanut butter for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Ensure the whipped topping is properly thawed before folding to maintain the lightness of the filling.
  • The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optional toppings add texture and additional flavor but can be omitted for a simpler presentation.
