Description

This Easy Peanut Butter Pie is a luscious, creamy dessert that requires no baking, making it perfect for a simple, stress-free treat. With a smooth peanut butter filling layered in a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream and optional peanut butter crumbs, this pie is an indulgent delight that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the pie

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8 oz. container whipped topping, thawed

For the peanut butter crumbs on top (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Filling
    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well incorporated. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of the whipped topping until just combined.
  2. Assemble the Pie
    Pour the prepared peanut butter filling into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Spread it evenly across the crust for a smooth layer. Then, spread the remaining whipped topping over the filling to create a creamy top layer.
  3. Prepare the Crumb Topping (Optional)
    In a small bowl, use a fork to cut the peanut butter into the powdered sugar until it resembles fine crumbs. These crumbs will add a delightful texture to the pie.
  4. Chill the Pie
    Sprinkle the peanut butter crumbs (if using) evenly over the top of the pie. Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight to ensure the pie is set and the flavors meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture, but feel free to try chunky peanut butter for added crunch.
  • This pie is highly adaptable—try using a chocolate cookie crust or drizzling chocolate syrup on top for an extra indulgent twist.
  • Chilling overnight intensifies the flavor and makes the pie easier to slice.
