No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is a simple and delicious dessert that any peanut butter fan will love!
It’s my dad’s birthday week!
I’ve told you guys multiple times that I have the coolest dad. I know just about everyone says that but… for real. He bought me this when I was 15. All my friends were given safe, responsible-looking cars and I got a hot rod. It was pretty much the best day of my life. It took me forever to learn how to drive a standard and I don’t remember him ever getting that aggravated with me. And he only yelled a little when he had to replace the clutch. Multiple times.
Since we’re so far away from home, I wanted to make something so the hooligans could celebrate their Pops’ birthday and I thought this pie looked like something he’d be into.
I love no-bake peanut butter pies and I feel like I’ve had about a million pieces in my lifetime. It’s so delicious and really couldn’t be easier to make. The hardest part is waiting for it to set up!
- 1 chocolate graham cracker crust
- 1 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping
- whipped cream for serving
-
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Beat in peanut butter and vanilla.
-
Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in whipped topping. Try not to deflate it too much but you want it fully incorporated.
-
Use a rubber spatula to transfer the pie mixture to the pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
Awww happy birthday to your dad! What a great celebratory pie, it looks to die for! No-bake treats are key with summer around the corner.
Peanut butter pies are one of my favorite desserts, great pick for your dad’s bday!
This looks so good!!
Happy birthday to your dad! This pie is amazing. LOVE the peanut butter!
My husband is always asking for me to make peanut butter pie! Happy Birthday to your dad!
Certainly a cool dad, indeed. This pie looks wonderful; I’m sure your dad will love it.
This looks so delicious :) I love no-bake recipes!
Seriously waiting for it to set up is always the WORST!!
Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip?
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!
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
I just made this. Sooooo good!!! Thank you
Yay! So glad it turned out well! Now I wish I had the ingredients to make it! :)
Silly question…I don’t have a mixer like what you are mentioning. Can I use my hand mixer on low? My husband’s bday is next week and pb pie is his favorite
Oh yeah, you can definitely use a hand mixer! Happy early birthday to your husband – I hope he loves the pie! :)
I make this using the powder variety of DreamWhip..and so all the beating works just as well..for the
“whipped cream”
Can i use reeses peices crumbled into the filling
I don’t see why not! It sounds delicious! :)
I don’t know what is the frozen whipped . What can I supstitute with?
Yes I don’t know frozen whipped is either, Can you use thicken cream that you beat up yourself?
Double cream whipped will do.
My family loves this pie.Made it for Xmas and they requested it for Easter as well .
I’m so glad to hear that! I need to make it again soon.
I made this for my brother who loves pb pie. He said it was the best he has ever had.
