Easy Peanut Butter Pie Recipe! Perfect For Holiday Dinners!
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our full disclosure policy.
Easy peanut butter pie is the perfect no-bake dessert for holiday dinners or any other time of year. Plus, as a frozen pie, it’s easy to prep early. My brother made this for Thanksgiving for the first time a couple of years ago, and we all fell in love. I love that this Peanut Butter Pie is a no-bake, and it can be prepped long before any festivity or potluck.
I am a HUGE peanut butter fan, I can eat it straight from the jar. This is worth the splurge every holiday for me! (and in the summer when it’s super hot) I plan to make this with a chocolate graham cracker crust and more peanut butter cups.
Frozen Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients:
Cream Cheese– This needs to be softened; I pull mine out of the fridge before I am ready to make the pies so it can soften up.
Confectioner’s sugar– AKA Powdered sugar, not regular sugar.
Cool Whip—You will want to thaw this in the fridge overnight. I also pull mine from the fridge when I pull the cream cheese.
Pre-made graham cracker pie crusts– We have also made this with Oreo pie crusts and loved it.
Peanut Butter Cups– These will need to be chopped up

Oh my goodness this looks so delicious!!! I love the peanut butter and chocolate mix 🙂
I wonder if this would work as well with real whipped cream instead of the Cool Whip? I’m rather partial to real whipped cream. 🙂 Or what about using Nutella or another chocolate-and-nut-butter instead of the plain peanut butter? Oh dear, you’ve gotten my mind going now, I can all but feel my waistline expanding! lol
How long will this keep in the freezer, do you know? 🙂
I would guess a couple weeks if it was sealed right. Those are some great add ins! I wonder if the whipped cream would be to heavy? If you try it I would love to hear how it goes!
Sounds like a great pie! T
