Make this irresistible, no-bake peanut butter pie for your next gathering. It features a rich, creamy filling and a buttery graham cracker crust, requiring no oven time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Optional Topping: Chocolate syrup or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter and beat until fully combined.
  3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not overmix.
  4. Prepare the whipped topping: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. This keeps the filling light and airy.
  6. Spoon the creamy peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
  8. Before serving, top with chocolate syrup or chopped peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and serve this crowd pleaser dessert.

Notes

  • For an Oreo crust peanut butter pie, substitute 1 1/2 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs for the graham cracker crumbs.
  • If you want a slightly saltier contrast to the sweetness, use salted butter in the crust.
  • This is a great make ahead dessert recipe; it holds up well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
