Description
This peanut butter pie is a creamy, dreamy no-bake dessert that combines rich peanut butter with a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Chocolate shavings or drizzle (optional)
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
- Extra whipped topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- When ready to serve, top with chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, or extra whipped topping if desired. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavors will be.
