No Bake Peanut Butter Pie has a buttery graham cracker crust, is rich and creamy and has big peanut butter flavor. SO easy to make and without turning on your oven!


If you love peanut butter and not turning on your oven, then you will LOVE this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie!
This recipe is courtesy of my Aunt Connie. She’s been making it forever and the whole family loves it! Don’t you just love a tried and true family recipe? Me too!
One of the bonuses of this recipe is that you don’t have to bake it. When the weather is hot, who feels like turning on their oven? Not me! Especially because I live in Florida.
To make this pie, you simply mix up some simple ingredients, pour into a graham cracker crust and chill. SO good!
Here is what you will need:
Table of Contents
Special Equipment Needed
- A deep-dish pie plate. The plate I use is 10.5 x 10.5 x 2.25 inches. Or you can use a pre-made crust (details below).
- A food processor, if you want to crush the graham crackers yourself. (You can also crush them in a resealable food storage bag using a rolling pin.)
Ingredients
For the graham cracker crust
I chose to use a homemade graham cracker crust for this pie. You do not have to do that. If you do want to use a pre-made crust, I recommend the Keebler graham cracker crust with 2 extra servings. If you use the regular size pre-made crust, you will have pie filling left over.
- 2 cups (210g) graham cracker crumbs or 14 full sheets of graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (114g) butter, melted
For the filling
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120g) creamy or crunchy peanut butter (whatever makes you happy!)
- 3/4 cup (75g) powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp milk (85g) (I use 1%, but you can use what you have on hand.)
- 1 8-oz container (225 grams) of whipped topping, like Cool Whip
- 1/4 cup (31g) chopped peanuts, for garnish
Instructions

Step 9: Press graham cracker crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. (I like to use a metal 1/2 cup measuring cup to help me really press those crumbs down tight.) (Image 9) Refrigerate the crust while you make the filling.


For the filling


Step 1: Beat softened cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer in a large bowl until creamy. (Image 1)
