A creamy, nutty peanut butter pie with a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream. This no-bake dessert is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
  • Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, chocolate drizzle, mini Reese’s cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Mix the filling: Beat softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add sweetness: Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in whipped topping until the filling is light and airy. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the filling.
  7. Add toppings: Decorate with crushed peanuts, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream before serving.
