Seriously, y’all, I almost feel irresponsible sharing this peanut butter pie recipe with the world. It’s that good. I’m sure I say that about a lot of desserts, though. I’m a dessert-eating kind of girl … but I truly mean it this time. The crunchy-soft texture of this no-bake pie is incredible, and the chocolatey-peanut taste? Out of this world.

Best of all, it’s fitting as a dessert for any meal at any time of the year. If you want something light during the summer? Peanut butter pie. If you want something filling in the winter? Peanut butter pie. Yes, it’s somehow both filling AND light. Trust me on this. This no-bake pie recipe is never too much or too little.

Oh, yes – that reminds me. No-bake. You heard that correctly: this peanut butter pie is NO-BAKE. No oven required! You mix your ingredients and put them in the fridge (or freezer) to chill and solidify for a few hours. That makes it a perfect recipe for when you need oven space – such as during the holidays or a big family get-together. Wonderful!

Peanut Butter Pie: FAQs

If any questions popped up while you were reading this post, here’s some additional info about this recipe that you’ll want to keep in mind!

➡️ How long will this pie last in the fridge?

You mean you have LEFTOVERS? Oh my goodness! (Just kidding!!) It should last about 5 days.

➡️ What about the freezer?

I’d say about 3 months!

➡️ Can you use a different kind of crust?

If you want! I’ve seen this exact pie made with graham cracker crust or any other pre-made store bought crust. I just think it’s tastiest with chocolate cookie crust…yum!!

➡️ What other toppings do you recommend?

Anything you think might taste good, to be honest!! Add graham cracker crumbs, ice cream syrup – get creative and this pie will reward your mouth with the best flavors you could ever imagine!

➡️ I can’t wait that long for it to chill! Can I do anything to make the process go faster?

If you freeze it for about an hour it should be OK! Remember to let it soften when you take it out.

➡️ My pie came out watery! What should I do?

Be sure to fold in the whipped topping! Do not just stir it in – fold it in! If you fold it in, your pie should be fine.
