Peanut Butter Pie

If you're a peanut butter fanatic, let us introduce you to your new favorite dessert: Peanut Butter Pie. Filled (and topped) with Nutter Butters and plenty of peanut butter, this PB-packed pie is a perfect rich dessert to spice up your holiday dessert table. But honestly, this no-bake dessert is so easy, it's best enjoyed all year round whenever you're itchin' for something sweet. 

With a simple crust and an ultra-creamy filling (thanks to the addition of cream cheese and whipped topping), this pie carries its rich peanut butter flavor in a light and fluffy texture, making it easy to enjoy slice after slice. Convinced yet? Read on for some of our top tips on creating this peanut butter dream:

Do I need to bake the crust?

No kneading pie dough or baking a crust required in this recipe. Our simple crust comes together with just two ingredients: butter and crushed Nutter Butters. Mix the melted butter and crushed bars together, then refrigerate while you prepare your stellar filling. 

What can I top it with?

We chose to top our pie with whipped topping, Nutter Butters and pourable peanut butter, but the options are endless when it comes to topping your creation! Swap out the whipped topping for our homemade whipped cream if you feel like taking things up a notch. Craving chocolate? Drizzle on some melted chocolate, add dark chocolate shavings or throw on some peanut butter cups for a match made in PB and chocolate heaven. 😍

Can I make it ahead?

Absolutely! If you're looking to clear up some oven space with a no-bake dessert this holiday, prep this pie in advance to save you time (and stress) on the big day. After pouring in the filling (and before topping with your chosen sweets), let it chill overnight so it can be ready to serve the next day. If you need it any farther in advance (or if you have leftovers), you can cover your pie and place it in the fridge for around three days. If you're looking to freeze it, simply wrap it tightly and freeze for 2-3 months.
