Description
A creamy, dreamy no bake peanut butter pie made with just five simple ingredients. Perfect for quick desserts and family gatherings, this pie requires no oven and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 8 ounces (240ml) whipped topping, thawed (e.g., Cool Whip)
- Optional: ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
- Optional: ¼ cup (30g) chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese and peanut butter. Place both in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat, scraping down the sides to combine evenly (about 2 minutes).
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until no white streaks remain, being careful not to overmix (about 3 minutes).
- Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula (about 2 minutes).
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to chill and set.
- Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, top with chopped peanuts or drizzle with melted chocolate.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and creamy peanut butter for best texture and flavor. Soften cream cheese before mixing. Fold whipped topping gently to keep the filling airy. Chill at least 3 hours or overnight for best results. Optional add-ins include chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 4 days. Not recommended to freeze.
