You need this easy peanut butter pie recipe! This no-bake dessert features a rich, creamy peanut butter filling in a buttery graham cracker crust. It is a perfect crowd pleaser for any gathering.

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, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping swirl)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly 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 until smooth. Add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and beat until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add the milk: Slowly beat in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the creamy peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. This is a crucial step for a perfect no-bake pie.
  8. Prepare the topping: Before serving, melt the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter slightly so it is drizzle-able. Swirl the melted peanut butter over the top of the chilled pie. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  9. Serve: Slice and serve this indulgent peanut butter dessert immediately.

Notes

  • For an Oreo crust peanut butter pie, substitute 2 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookies (filling included) for the graham crackers.
  • If you want a richer topping, you can use whipped topping instead of heavy cream for the filling, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • This make ahead dessert recipe tastes best when chilled for 6 hours or overnight.
