No Bake Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie is an easy and amazing no-bake pie!  The filling is so creamy and delicious inside a sweet, buttery, chocolate graham cracker crust. This is perfect for your next gathering!

No bake pies are my favorite these days!  So easy to put together and no need to preheat the oven!  There are so many great varieties of them too! I could seriously make them once a week!  The No Bake Banana Caramel Pecan Pie, No Bake S’mores Pie or No Bake Lemon Pie are huge hits at my house as well!

I recently made a visit to North Carolina and one of my very best friends lives there. We always have so much fun together. Our time is usually spent shopping, getting pedicures, and eating good food. There are some really great places to eat in North Carolina. And I have made a couple of recipes that were inspired by some of the yummy food that I had while I was there.

She showed me a video of this easy to make no bake pie. As I  watched how it was made, I decided to make a few changes to it!  In my opinion, all the yummy flavor in this pie starts with the buttery, sweet graham cracker crust. The video showed a pre-made crust, but I decided to make my own instead!  Chocolate graham cracker crust really gives this no bake cream cheese peanut butter pie a perfect thick, rich base. Chocolate and peanut butter, a match made in heaven right?

Soon after returning home, I made this for my family for Pioneer Day in Utah. I needed something quick and easy and I love that it is no bake! It was the highlight of our barbecue and was completely gone in a matter of minutes. Of course you have to top it with some whip cream and chocolate drizzle. That makes everything better right?

No Bake Pie Ingredients:

The pie has a cream cheese peanut butter filling that is my favorite part! It is perfect on top of the crumbly chocolate graham cracker crust. This pie instantly became a favorite within the first bite!

Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust: (You can also use store bought)

• Graham cracker crumbs: Chocolate or regular can be used. Crush before combining with sugar and butter.
• White sugar: The added sweetness makes this crust SO amazing!
• Butter: Melted and mixed in with crumbs and sugar.

For filling:

• Cream cheese: Softened so it will easily blend with sugar and peanut butter.
• Confectioners’ sugar: Beat together with peanut butter and cream cheese.
• Peanut butter: Use creamy peanut butter to keep your filling smooth and luscious.
• Whipped topping:I use cool whip and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
• Optional: Serve with whipped cream,chocolate syrup, or chopped nuts

Variations of No Bake Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie:

• Garnish ideas: shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, hot fudge sauce, crushed peanuts, chopped peanut butter cup candy, sliced bananas, graham cracker crumbs, melted peanut butter. Try one or try all! No judgment here.
• Substitute crushed Oreo cookies in place of standard graham cracker crumbs. Eliminate the sugar.
• Make your whipped cream from scratch: Put a mixing bowl and whisk or whisk attachment into the freezer to chill for 20 minutes. Pour a pint of cold heavy whipping cream in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer (or use an electric hand mixer) and mix on high speed for 1 minute, or until stiff peaks form. For a little extra flavor, add a few drops of vanilla extract.
• Serve chilled from the refrigerator.
• Serve frozen from the freezer. If serving from frozen, remove the pie from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving to let it thaw just a bit.
• If you don’t have time to wait for the crust to set in the fridge, you can bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.

• Yes! And since it’s so easy to double the recipe, then you always have one on hand in the freezer for unexpected guests.  Trust me, if you don’t double it you won’t have leftovers.  This pie goes fast!
