An Easy No-Bake Pie Recipe Everyone Loves

Ready for an easy dessert loaded with flavor? This Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie recipe is just what you need. Even if you consider yourself a beginner baker, you’ll love the ease of this pie! Everyone in your family will crave more after just one piece of this creamy chocolate pie.

With the middle of the pie is made using peanut butter, cream cheese, Cool Whip, and confectioners sugar, you know it’s going to have the perfect texture and balance of sweetness in every single bite.

This is one of those desserts that literally take just a few moments to whip up and will be gone before you even know what happened. But don’t worry…that just leaves room for you to make it again!

I’m also a HUGE fan of this No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie which is very similar except that it doesn’t have the added chocolate/peanut butter flavor from the Reese Cups.

While the middle of the pie is heavenly, there’s no denying that the top of this pie is what is going to take over your tastebuds by storm. Crushed up Reese’s cups, mini chocolate chips, and drizzled peanut butter take the flavor of this pie totally over the top.

Pair a slice of this pie up with a cool glass of milk and you might as well call it a day. You know that life is good when you’re able to enjoy a slice of this pie and savor every single bite.

• Cream cheese – Add once it’s at room temperature.

Commonly Asked Questions

How long does peanut butter pie last?

To get the most flavor from this pie, you really need to consume it within three days of making it. Any longer than that and you might want to consider adding it to your freezer for later.

Can you use a homemade pie crust for this recipe?

Of course! I just typically don’t have the time to make that happen. While I’m a HUGE fan of using premade crusts for pies when time is of the essence, I also think that homemade crusts are going to have more flavor and taste ultimately.

If you have a favorite pie crust recipe that you swear by, use it for this pie! You could use crushed-up Oreos or graham cracker crumbs – both would be amazing!

Topping Variations

Let’s be real…the more toppings, the better. If you want to add on even more toppings, you can.

Some other topping ideas that might be a huge hit are:

• Hot Fudge
• Toasted Coconut
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips
• White Chocolate Chips
• Shaved Chocolate
• Whipped Cream
• Drizzled peanut butter mixture
• Fine crumbs of Oreos
• Homemade chocolate ganache topping
• Chopped peanuts

Tips for Success

• The recipe calls for a pre-made crust but you can make your own using graham cracker crumbs.  Just use the recipe on my No-Bake Cheesecake post.
• If you need more than one pie, you can easily be double the recipe and add to either two pie shells or 1 9×13 dish.
• You may want to freeze this pie and have it as a frozen treat! It’s just as delicious!
• Chill this pie for at least 2 hours to give the flavors time to develop and firm.
• Once your pie is chilled and you are ready to cut, use a large, sharp knife and make cuts across the pie. You may want to clean your knife in-between cuts for the prettiest slices.
• To Freeze:  Cover the pie with plastic wrap and then tightly with foil (to avoid freezer burn).
• To Serve: When ready to serve, remove the peanut butter pie from the freezer and cut it into slices with a sharp knife. 
• Leftovers: Cover any leftovers tightly and return promptly to the fridge or freezer.

See where I’m going with this? The more sweet topping choices, the more you can vary up the outcome and flavor of this easy pie recipe!
