A creamy, rich, and easy-to-make no-bake peanut butter pie with a buttery crust and fluffy peanut butter filling, perfect for quick desserts and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional toppings: chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, whipped cream dollops

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and mixture feels like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Mix the peanut butter base: Beat softened cream cheese with peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently in two additions to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Warm peanut butter slightly if thick or grainy for smoother blending. Chill crust well before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Use slow, gentle folding motions to keep filling airy. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Dip knife in hot water and dry before slicing for clean cuts.
