Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie
This no-bake peanut butter pie recipe is easy to make, and it is so creamy and luscious!
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter (not the drippy kind)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup milk, at room temperature
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, defrosted
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- For garnish: chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat on high with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and beat until combined.
- Add the powdered sugar and milk, and beat until combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Top with chopped peanuts and serve.
Notes
The best type of peanut butter for this pie is a regular variety (not drippy). It can be either smooth or crunchy, depending on your preference. I used creamy Skippy Natural. Regular Skippy or JIF work great, too.
Any leftover pie should be stored in the refrigerator. It'll keep for several days in a covered container. You can also freeze the pie for up to 3 months. It's very good eaten while frozen, too!
Wipe the knife on a paper towel in between slices to get clean looking slices.
Variations:
-
- Replace the whipped topping with 1½ cups heavy cream, whipped until stiff peaks form (measure 1½ cups first, then whip)
-
- Try chunky peanut butter instead of smooth
-
- Use an Oreo crust, a pretzel crust, or a traditional pastry crust (this Crisco pie crust is so flaky and tender)
-
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce when serving
