Description

Fluffy No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is a creamy, rich dessert made with a smooth blend of cream cheese, peanut butter, and whipped topping, all nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. This easy, no-bake recipe is perfect for warm weather or when you want a quick, indulgent treat without turning on the oven. Topped with optional chopped peanuts, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream, it’s a delightful crowd-pleaser that sets beautifully in the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Crust

  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • 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 will create a rich and velvety base for your pie.
  2. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the combination is fully blended and smooth, ensuring an even, sweet flavor throughout.
  3. Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is key for the pie’s airy texture and creamy consistency.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  5. Chill to Set: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firmly set. This chilling time allows the filling to firm up and enhances the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with your choice of chopped peanuts, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, mini chocolate chips, or extra whipped cream for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve, making it convenient for entertaining.
  • For a chocolate variation, substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese is properly softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • Try using chunky peanut butter if you prefer some texture in the filling.
