4.8 from 92 reviews

A creamy, rich no-bake peanut butter pie made with a smooth peanut butter and cream cheese filling in a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for an easy and indulgent dessert without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed or 3 cups homemade whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place the no-bake graham cracker pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to chill and firm up before adding the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth and well blended. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream until the mixture is completely combined and light.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.
  6. Serve and store: Slice the pie and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
  • Chilling the crust before filling helps prevent sogginess and keeps the pie firm.
  • For a homemade whipped cream alternative, whip heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • This pie is best served chilled, so allow enough refrigeration time before serving.
  • Leftovers should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days for best quality.
