Create a rich, creamy, and indulgent no-bake peanut butter pie using simple ingredients. This recipe features a smooth filling in a buttery crust, perfect for a quick dessert when you want to skip the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 full sheets)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Optional topping: Chocolate syrup or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed graham crackers and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add sweetness: Gradually beat in the 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Do not overmix; you want the filling to stay light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top with chocolate syrup or chopped peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For an Oreo crust variation, substitute 24 crushed Oreo cookies (filling included) for the graham crackers and sugar.
  • You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer texture in your filling.
  • This pie tastes best when fully chilled, making it an excellent make-ahead dessert for gatherings.
