    No Bake Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

    I've said it before and I'll say it again... I don't know if there's a more heavenly flavor combination than chocolate and peanut butter. This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie Recipe tones down both flavors a bit, but not tragically so. The cream cheese and peanut butter pie filling is creamy and nutty, without being over the top, and chocolate comes in to play with a mild chocolate pie crust and pretty chocolate shavings as garnish.

    This is a dessert that will impress crowds and parties -- but between you and me, it's so, so, so simple to make. It's a no bake pie, so you don't have to worry about it cooking or rising flawlessly. All you do is mix up a few ingredients and add them to your pie crust in two pretty layers, before letting it set in the freezer. See? Could NOT be easier! The sweet tooth afflicted in your family will declare you the day's hero next time you make this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.

    What are the ingredients in no bake peanut butter pie?

    This is a simple as-can-be dessert recipe. All you need is cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, cream whipped until it's stiff (or Cool Whip), chocolate pie crust, and Hershey's chocolate to shave as garnish.

    Can you make peanut butter pie without cream cheese?

    You can, although the consistency might be a little different. I'd recommend using plain Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese if you prefer not to use it.

    Could you make this into no bake peanut butter pie jars?

    Individual pie jars are such a great idea! To make no bake peanut butter pie into jars, instead of using a chocolate pie crust, you can remove the cream from Oreo's and crumble the cookies into a fine powder. Press a quarter-inch layer of the crumbled cookies into the bottom of Mason jars before filling them with the peanut butter mixture and topping them off with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

    Description

    Creamy and chock-full of peanut butter, this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie has a chocolate crust and chocolate shavings on top to finish things off with perfection!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 cup cream, beat until stiff (or 8 ounces Cool Whip topping, if that's how you roll)
    • 1 prepared chocolate crust
    • Hershey's chocolate bar for garnish, optional

    Instructions

    1. In a medium mixing bowl, cream cream cheese and peanut butter together with a hand mixer.
    2. Add milk and powdered sugar, beating until combined and fluffy.
    3. Fold in half the whipped cream or Cool Whip.
    4. Place whipped mixture into prepared pie crust.
    5. Top with remaining whipped cream or Cool Whip.
    6. For a garnish, use your vegetable peeler and made chocolate curls from the edge of a Hershey's bar.
    7. Cover pie, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
    8. When ready to serve, cut (and don't thaw first).

    Notes

    • I had prepared crusts on hand, but if you don't, you can make one... You could also put this in a graham cracker crust. Here's my recipe for chocolate and graham cracker pie crust -- both would be great for this recipe.
