If you're looking for a pie recipe that doesn't use the oven, this no-bake peanut butter pie is IT!  This is our third or fourth year serving this peanut butter pie, so you know it's tried and true.  It's a smooth creamy pie with a whipped cream topping.  Pie at it's best!

Graham cracker crust

I absolutely LOVE peanut butter pie with a graham cracker crust.  You can use my recipe for a homemade graham cracker crust, or pick up a store-bought one.  I highly recommend my homemade version, though, because it's much thicker than a store-bought AND it so super easy that you really have no excuse not to make it homemade.  Plus, you can use a much prettier pie plate than the foil.

How to store peanut butter pie

Peanut butter pie needs to be refrigerated, because it includes whipped cream and cream cheese.  It will last 3-4 days in the fridge (but probably much less because everyone will eat it right up!)  You can also freeze no-bake peanut butter pie.  This is what I do for the holidays, so that I can make it a week before then thaw in the fridge the night before.  Or, you can serve it frozen but it will change the texture -- more like ice cream!  And, it's harder to slice from frozen, so I would suggest thawing at least a little first.

How to make peanut butter pie

This peanut butter pie recipe is so easy because it uses only 4 ingredients for the filling.  To make no bake peanut butter pie, follow these simple steps:

  1. Combine 8 oz. cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter until smooth.
  2. Stir in 8 oz. Cool Whip then pour into graham cracker crust.
  3. Top with another 8 oz. Cool Whip and garnish with chopped peanut butter cups.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Yes, this peanut butter pie uses Cool Whip (or any other frozen whipped topping).  But, you can make your own homemade whipped topping if you prefer.  It isn't hard!

How do you make Cool Whip?

To make a homemade whipped topping (like Cool Whip) all you need to do is whip together heavy cream and sugar.  I use my stand mixer whisk attachment.  Beat until it's thick and fluffy.  Be careful not to over mix it!

I typically use Cool Whip for this recipe, but every once in a while I do like to make my own.  It's really up to you and how much time you have!  Although, it only takes a few minutes to make it homemade.
