No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Easy Frozen Peanut Butter Pie – A Delicious And Nutty Dessert!

My family loves pie. And, I mean any kind of pie.

  • Apple
  • Key Lime
  • Pecan

There are just so many!

With summer fast approaching and the heat temperatures rising, my family has been obsessed with this frozen lemonade pie, and I wanted to stay on the frozen pie train.

That’s where this frozen no-bake peanut butter pie came from!

No one can resist a peanut butter pie. It is irresistibly creamy, sweet, gooey, salty… the list goes on! The best part is it doesn’t require any baking time, so you do not need to turn on your oven for this recipe which saves energy in the wintertime when it gets cold outside or in the summer heat if you want to enjoy some of these desserts without heating your home.

Easy Peanut Butter Pie

What makes peanut butter pies even better (or worse!) is how versatile they are; there really isn’t much stopping you from using all types of nuts as well, like almonds or cashews – or even chocolate if you want to get a little more decadent with it.

Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce and the combo is perfection! (Especially for my husband!)

Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to make this treat because it does take several hours to freeze before serving.

I’m so excited to share this dessert with y’all today!

Ingredients Needed To Make Easy Peanut Butter Pie

Here is a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this sweet dessert pie:

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is thawed to room temperature, so it whips better.
  • Frozen Whipped Topping: Try to use frozen whipped topping, like CoolWhip, instead of using real whipped cream. It has a thinner consistency and doesn’t make the filling thick enough. Make sure to let the whipped topping thaw out from the freezer before using.
  • Crunchy Peanut Butter: I used crunchy peanut butter to add a bit more of a nutty texture to the frozen pie. You can easily swap it out for creamy peanut butter too!
  • Powdered Sugar: Run the powdered sugar through a sifter to eliminate any clumps before adding it to the peanut butter filling.
  • Milk: Adding in the milk helps to thin out the filling, so it’s creamy and fluffy.
  • Graham Cracker Crust: The perfect crust for this peanut butter pie! I normally buy a premade one from the grocery store to cut down on time.

What To Serve With Nutty Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut butter pie is the perfect dessert on a hot summer day, but you may not know how to serve it. Here are some easy ideas:

  • Serve with a scoop of yummy chocolate or vanilla ice cream.
  • Top it off with some extra whipped cream and warm chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat!
  • You can top it with even more peanut butter because why not.
  • Add a layer of fresh strawberry preserves before adding the filling, then top when cooled off. This will make your dessert much sweeter and taste like a PB&J!

Sometimes all you need is just a spoonful!
