Craving a dessert that’s both easy and indulgent? Try our No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie! With a creamy, fluffy filling and a crisp graham cracker crust, it’s the perfect treat for any peanut butter lover. Ready in just 8 hours, no oven needed.

Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese (8 oz.): Provides a creamy base, enhancing the pie’s rich texture.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter (1 cup): The star ingredient, offering a deep, nutty flavor.
  • Brown Sugar (1/2 cup): Adds sweetness, complementing the peanut butter.
  • Vanilla Extract (2 tsp.): Enhances overall flavor, adding a hint of warmth.
  • Granulated Sugar (1 tablespoon): Sweetens the whipped cream, balancing the flavors.
  • Whipping Cream (1 1/2 cups, divided): Whipped into homemade cream, it contributes to the pie’s light and airy texture.
  • Prepared Graham Cracker Pie Crust (6 oz.): The convenient base that holds the filling.
  • Chopped Peanuts (optional): Adds crunch and presentation flair.

Instructions

  1. Begin by blending the cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of whipping cream with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining whipping cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to loosen it up.
  4. Fold in the remaining whipped cream, completing the pie’s fluffy filling.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, creating a slight mound towards the center.
  6. Cover and chill the pie for at least 8 hours to set the filling before serving.
  7. To serve, optionally top each slice with chopped peanuts for added texture and presentation.

Notes

  • Making ahead: This pie is an excellent make-ahead dessert, allowing flavors to develop beautifully.
  • Storage: Keep the pie refrigerated, covered, for up to 5-6 days. However, it’s best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
  • Freezing: For a longer shelf life, freeze the pie. Wrap it well and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Customization: Feel free to top with chocolate chips, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and savory twist.
  • Reheating: No reheating necessary, but if you’ve frozen the pie, ensure it thaws completely in the refrigerator before serving.
