No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
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 easy, 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 just 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!
Ingredients
- Chocolate graham cracker crust – you can use regular graham cracker crust if you prefer
- Cream cheese – the regular cream cheese in blocks, not the kind in tubs
- Sugar
- Creamy peanut butter – make sure it’s creamy so you get a really smooth pie
- Vanilla
- Cool Whip – let it thaw overnight in the fridge
Instructions
- 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.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in Cool Whip. You want to be very careful not to deflate the Cool Whip too much so your pie is nice and fluffy.
- Transfer the pie filling to a chocolate graham cracker pie crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired
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 It 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 Freeze Peanut Butter Pie?
If you want a super cold summer dessert, you can totally pop this in the freezer! From there, just serve it frozen!
I wouldn’t recommend freezing and then trying to defrost it to serve it though. I think the whole thing would change texture and not be that creamy, fluffy pie we all know and love!

I loved it. After that I made it with Nutella and I almost died. It was so good 👍

So good! Easy to make, fast to put together. A tiny bit rich so might need less sugar next time. But overall we love it!

Yes I’d like to know if you have made this with a regular graham cracker crust before. It looks like it from the photos but wondered if they tasted to different.
Amanda Livesay says
You can use the regular or chocolate crust. :)
June C Leathers says
Can this be made in a 8×8 inch pan instead of a pie pan? Also can I use a graham cracker crust instead of a chocolate crust?
Tricia says
Can I use a sugar substitute and/or reduced fat cream cheese?

What is the pie in the picture dusted with?
Amanda Livesay says
Just chocolate shavings! I used my microplane to get them very fine.

What is the frozen cream for?
Do I have to defrost it first? Then add it to the recipe?
Amanda Livesay says
Yes, it needs to be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. Then it gets folded into the peanut butter mixture.

Does the cool whip have to be frozen?
Amanda Livesay says
No, it should be defrosted.
