Creamy and delicious No Bake Peanut Butter Pie with a graham cracker crust. Only 6 ingredients, so easy, and everyone will be begging for the recipe!

If you could have one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mine would definitely be something with peanut butter, maybe this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.
It is the most perfect creamy peanut butter pie on a graham cracker crust. There’s only a few ingredients and it takes only a few minutes to put together. I even use a store-bought graham cracker crust to make it that much easier.
If you need a last minute dessert for a summer barbecue or pool party, this is definitely it.
I also have a No Bake Cheesecake that’s made with just 4 ingredients and it is so delicious!

How To Make No Bake Peanut Butter Pie!
I love a no bake peanut butter pie and I feel like I’ve had about a million pieces in my lifetime.
I always use a store-bought graham cracker crust. They are just so easy and inexpensive and it really saves a lot of time. You can totally make your own if you prefer.
The filling for this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie is made of softened cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. That all gets beaten together until it’s smooth and creamy.
Then you gently fold in Cool Whip – you have to make sure not to deflate the Cool Whip because that is what gives the pie it’s light and fluffy texture.
Then you just spoon the filling into the pie crust and smooth out the top. It needs to sit at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before you try to cut it but I like to leave it overnight to be safe. Top it with whipped cream and enjoy!

Can You Use Homemade Whipped Cream?
I don’t recommend it because Cool Whip has stabilizers in it that lets it retain it’s fluffiness. And if you look closely at my photos, you’ll notice that the real whipped cream I put on top started to melt as I was talking photos.
So using real whipped cream would likely cause your pie to deflate and not be are fluffy and creamy.
How Long is No Bake Peanut Butter Pie Good For?
No Bake Peanut Butter Pie should be good for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Find a way to cover it pretty tightly to make sure it stays as fresh as possible.
You can also freeze it for an extra cold treat on a hot summer day.
Can You Make Peanut Butter Pie Ahead?
Yes! This is the perfect dessert when you need to prep it ahead. I always make it the night before I serve it so that it has plenty of time to set up.

Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip?
amanda says
I’m sure you could but the recipe may need some minor adjustments. Cool Whip has stabilizers that homemade whipped cream doesn’t have. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Kellie says
Make homemade whip first and let it sit and be ready and then if you follow the rest of the directions it should be fine but that way you already have the whip settled in itself before you do the recipe or at least that’s what I think ….my opinion
Jillian says

Yay! So glad it turned out well! Now I wish I had the ingredients to make it! :)
