Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie – A no bake peanut butter pie that is creamy and perfect for just about any occasion. It is topped with whipped cream and peanut butter cups for the ultimate dessert. 

Peanut Butter Cream Pie has long been a favorite of my husband.  If we go out to a restaurant that has this kind of pie, it is the one he orders.  It is about the only time in his life that having chocolate is acceptable.   

This is one of the absolute first recipes that I shared when I started blogging.  It has been a staple in our house since we first got married.  Similar to like Pokey Sticks, it is just one of those recipes that is on repeat and won’t stop!

This peanut butter pie starts with a graham cracker crust.  There is just something about a homemade graham cracker crust that gets me, so I always make my own.  The hardest part is crushing the graham crackers!  But if you wanted to go truly no bake, and use store bought, then go for it! As you can see, I have also made this easy peanut butter pie with an Oreo crust for the true chocolate lovers out there!

The chocolate in this pie comes from a little bit of hot fudge that gets spread on the graham cracker crust.  I skip this step when I use an Oreo crust.   It is a rich and creamy dessert that is great for the summer.  Bring it to your next get together, and I promise you will not have leftovers, and people will be begging you for the recipe!

How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

• You can easily buy a store bought crust, but it is really easy to make your own.  All you do is mix the graham cracker crumbs, with a little sugar and melted butter.  Then press into your pie plate.  You can freeze the crust, but I do like to bake it so it gets crispy and really stands up to the pie.  
• Use your favorite hot fudge or chocolate sauce to spread over the crust.  This gives you the chocolate to go with the creamy peanut butter filling.  
• To make the peanut butter pie part, you use vanilla pudding mix, milk, peanut butter and cool whip.  The whipped topping gets folded in, so it is almost like a thick and creamy mousse. 
• Peanut butter cups need to make an appearance in a peanut butter dessert, so I fold in some of the mini peanut butter cups that are cut in half into the filling. 
• It is all topped off with fresh homemade whipped cream that brings it all together.  
• To decorate I like to just put a little bit of the whipped cream into a zip top bag and pip onto the edge of the pie.  Then I use some of the peanut butter cups to help decorate. 
• You do need to let the pie sit in the fridge for a couple hours or it will be a huge mess when you go to cut it.  

This peanut butter pie recipe is super easy to make and it always disappears.  It is requested for birthdays, holidays, at parties, and even just because by almost everyone who tries it.  I love that it is no bake and I can make it ahead of time!   You could even freezer this pie to make it easier to serve and super thick and creamy.

If you have family or friends who love peanut butter, this is the dessert for them!  And don’t miss all the other Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Desserts you could make as well.
