Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to make a homemade graham cracker crust?

Absolutely not. I do think that homemade graham cracker crust is fabulous (simply combine crushed graham crackers + melted butter); however, I almost always purchase a pre-made graham cracker crust. They are inexpensive - usually around $2 at your local grocery store - and absolutely delicious. Look for one that isn't cracked/crumbled, as that is common.

Can I make this dessert lighter/healthier?

While few desserts are "healthy" in the pie realm, you can certainly make a lighter version of this. You can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese; less sugar; and fat-free frozen whipped topping.

I prefer other nut butters to peanut butter. Can I substitute?

100%! Use the nut butter of your choice. The ingredient quantity will remain the same.

How long do I need to refrigerate the pie?

I would chill this pie for at minimum one hour prior to serving. That said, you can also place it in the freezer until firm for a quicker fix!

Ingredients, Shopping List No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie:

  • Pre-made graham cracker crust: this recipe yields enough filling for a 9-inch, already-prepared graham cracker crust. They are readily available at your local grocery.
  • Cream cheese: 1 block (8 oz). I prefer to use full-fat for this recipe, but you can use low-fat or non-fat.
  • Powdered/Confectioners' Sugar: 1.25 c. will be utilized in this recipe.
  • Frozen Whipped Topping: One 8 ounce container -- off-brand or Cool Whip.
  • Peanut Butter: 1 cup. of your choice of peanut butter. Creamy works best.
  • Vanilla Extract: Use good vanilla extract -- it makes all of the difference.
  • Whipped Cream: for garnish/serving. The more, the merrier by my standard!
