This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie is so silky smooth and delicious. It's topped off with homemade whipped cream and lots of mini peanut butter cups. Plus, it's no bake which means no need to turn on that hot oven!

Ingredients

Chocolate Crust

  • 35 chocolate sandwich cookies with filling
  • 127 grams (9 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

No Bake Peanut Pie

  • 12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 141 grams (1 1/4 cup) powdered sugar
  • 283 grams (1 1/4 cup) heavy cream

Whipped Cream

  • 227 grams (1 cup) cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • Mini peanut butter cups, for topping

Instructions

Chocolate Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
  2. Blend chocolate cookies (filling included) in a food processor or blender until they are a fine, sandlike consistency. Add in melted butter and blend until the crumbs start to clump together.
  3. Using a small measuring cup sprayed with cooking spray, carefully press the crumbs into a pie shell until they cover the base and sides of the pie shell.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

  1. Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until combined.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter and continue to mix for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add the cream and mix just until combined.
  4. Gently add the filling to the crust and smooth out with an offset spatula.
  5. Place plastic wrap directly on the top of the pie and set in the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours, if not overnight.

Whipped Cream

  1. Once your pie is well chilled and you are ready to serve it, combine heavy cream and sugar in a medium sized bowl.
  2. Mix on medium-high with a handheld or stand mixer until somewhat stiff peaks have formed.

Assembly

  1. Remove the plastic wrap from the pie and if needed use the back of a spoon to gently smooth out the top to remove any lines from the plastic wrap.
  2. Carefully pile whipped cream on top of the pie and use an offset spatula or spoon to spread it out evenly.
  3. Top with chopped peanut butter cups. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover pie should be covered tightly with plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Pie is best enjoyed immediately, but can be made the day before and kept in the fridge as instructed above. I recommend waiting to make and top it with the whipped cream until right before you are ready to serve it.
