How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:

Pie Crust:

25 peanut butter sandwich cookies
5 Tbsp butter, melted

Creamy Filling:

1 8-oz package cream cheese, room temperature
2 c confectioners’ sugar
1 ½ c creamy peanut butter (Crunchy peanut butter can be used in place of smooth peanut butter for a crunchier texture)
1 c milk
1 16-oz container frozen whipped topping like cool whip, thawed
3-5 peanut butter sandwich cookies, coarsely-chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Generously grease a 9-inch pie pan.

Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, crush 25 peanut butter cookies using a pastry cutter or a food processor into fine crumbs.

Add 5 Tbsp melted butter to the crushed cookies, and mix well.

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the crust. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to help compact the crust evenly.

Place the crust in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to set.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the whipped cream until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Garnish old-fashioned peanut butter pie with 3-5 coarsely-chopped peanut butter sandwich cookies, and sprinkle to the top of the pie.

The last thing you need to do is wrap your no-bake peanut butter pie in plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours to allow the pie to set.

Before serving, you can add your favorite toppings like a dollop of whipped cream, Reese’s peanut butter cups, mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

When slicing the pie, use a sharp, clean knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. This helps create clean slices.

Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
