No Bake Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie
A friend of mine 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?
I decided to make this pie for the holidays. I needed something quick and easy and I love that it is no bake! It was the highlight of our meal and was completely gone in a matter of minutes. Of course you have to top it with some whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. That makes everything better right?
Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients
The best part about this pie is its cream cheese peanut butter filling! It’s perfect on top of the crumbly chocolate graham cracker crust. This pie instantly became a favorite within the first bite!
Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust
- 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.
Peanut Butter Filling
- Cream Cheese: I always make sure this is softened because it will easily blend with sugar and peanut butter.
- Powdered Sugar: Beat together with peanut butter and cream cheese. It makes the filling smooth and sweet!
- 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.

Tips and Variations
This is one of my favorite no-bake desserts to make because it’s so easy to customize. You can add so many different types of garnishes and toppings!
- Garnish Ideas: Shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, crushed peanuts, chopped peanut butter cup candy, sliced bananas, graham cracker crumbs, melted peanut butter. Try one or try all! No judgment here.
- Oreo Crust: 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.
