  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A creamy, dreamy no-bake peanut butter pie with a velvety filling, crunchy cookie crust, and whipped topping. Perfect for beginners and busy bakers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or Oreo cookies for variation)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
  • Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers with 6 tablespoons melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  6. Add toppings: Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature for smooth blending. Chill the pie overnight for best results. Add a splash of milk if the filling is too thick.
