This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe is a favorite summer pie. It tastes like a giant peanut butter cup in pie form!
If you love no-bake pies you will also love our No-Bake Chocolate Pie too!! It’s super easy to make this pie as well.
I promised my Goddaughter that we would do some baking this summer. I asked her what she was thinking of making and she said peanut butter chocolate. That is such a coincidence, I have been wanting to make that kind of pie too! I remember that my very talented blogger friend, Joan, from Chocolate, Chocolate and more made a Peanut Butter Pie and went off to search for her recipe.
We had all of the ingredients except a Graham Cracker Crust and Whipped Topping, so off to the market we went. But first, we had to stop and get a little lunch. We decided to visit my daughter at work, lucky us she joined us at our table and took a break with her lunch.
My God Daughter also brought over her inventory to make me a DUCK TAPE wallet! My choices were food-related….can you believe that? Pickles, Mac and Cheese, and Leopard Print. I will cherish it forever.
Melted Chocolate on top of Graham Cracker Crust…so you get an extra bite of chocolate on the top and bottom…
This is a super easy pie that you can put together before a special party, you just need 2 hours refrigeration time, since it was so warm out, I would freeze it instead of refrigerating it for 2 hours next time.
It tastes like an amazing creamy Peanut Butter Cup! When you have been baking all day and need to wait for your Peanut Butter and Chocolate pie to refrigerate~ you go for a swim at the lake!
We worked up an appetite with our big swim and got a call from my BFF inviting us for dinner, she created a BIG POT of Sausage, Kale, Potato and Bean Soup! With a crusty loaf of bread and our Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie in hand, off we went!
I couldn’t wait to slice into this work of art while the kids played baseball in the backyard and the men played Bocce Ball. With Stevie Wonder playing in the background…it was the perfect summer day…watching the Super Moonlight up over us, I am thankful for being a Spiritual Bodyguard when it involves any kind of baking and is so lucky to have such incredible friends who enjoy food as much as I do.
INGREDIENTS THAT YOU NEED:
- Graham Cracker Crust
- Peanut Butter
- cream cheese
- Powdered Sugar
- Cool Whip
- Chocolate chips
- heavy cream
Let’s talk about what is going on in this Peanut Butter Pie.
- Graham Cracker Crust: Use a premade crust or make your own crust with Graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. You have two options here: you can tightly pack the crust into your pie plate and refrigerate it, or you can bake it for a little bit.
- Peanut Butter Filling: Peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped cream make this filling smooth, sweet, and luxurious. Bonus: You don’t bake it, and it comes together in minutes.
- Chocolate: We top our peanut butter filling with a generous mound of creamy chocolate.
- Garnishes: Here’s where you get to have fun with this recipe. You can garnish this pie with whatever sounds good to you. Here are some suggestions: salted peanuts, peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, chocolate curls, graham cracker crumbs, melted peanut butter, fudge sauce. Add one, some, or all.
- No-Bake: This is a no-bake recipe because the whole thing can be prepared without baking. Simply chill the crust before filling or take an even easier route and use a store-bought graham cracker crust.
How to Make the Pie:
- FOR FILLING: In a bowl, set mixer on medium, cream together peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth and blended.
- Slowly add in powdered sugar and mix on low.
- Next, add in Cool Whip and mix until fluffy on medium. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Set aside.
- For Chocolate: Use a 2 cup Microwave safe measuring cup or bowl, microwave chocolate chips and cream for 1 minute on HIGH. Stir chips and cream until the chocolate is smooth. add more cream to get a thinner consistency.
- Spread all but 3 or 4 TBSP of chocolate over the crust. Let sit for 5 minutes to set up. Next, add the filling and spread evenly. Drizzle chocolate over peanut butter filling. I had a lot of chocolate leftover because my chocolate was very thick, so I covered the pie with it.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, if making for a summer party, Freeze for 2 hours. Let pie thaw for at least 2 hours before serving.
