This no-bake Peanut Butter pie is light and creamy with great peanut butter flavor. You will love how easy it is to make!

Ingredients & Process

We love it when a fabulous dessert only has a handful of ingredients. That is certainly the case with this fluffy peanut butter pie.

Peanut Butter, Cream Cheese, Cool Whip, Milk, and Powdered Sugar make up the ingredients for the pie filling.

Folding cool whip into peanut butter pie.

After folding the cool whip into the mixture of other ingredients, we spooned it into a ready made pie crust and topped with a sprinkling of peanuts. Chill & Enjoy!

How to Change up the Peanut Butter Pie

We love this pie just as it is! However, you could easily make it your own, by stirring mini chocolate chips or crushed Reese’s Cups, or Crushed Oreos into the filling. Any of these would make a great topping also.

For more chocolate flavor, you could drizzle chocolate syrup over the top.
For more crunch, you can use crunchy peanut butter rather than creamy peanut butter in the filling!
We love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate and so we used a chocolate crust- but a graham cracker crust is delicious too!
Finally, you can cover and chill the pie in the refrigerator for a light and creamy texture, or for a firmer texture, you can freeze!

Oh My, We Love Pie!

We have more delicious pies for you to try in our Dessert section, as well as many ore great pie options! Some of our favorite are our creamy Lemon Pie, Impossible Coconut Pie, chocolate chip pie, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie!
