No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
Description
This pie combines creamy peanut butter with softened cream cheese and powdered sugar mixed in a stand mixer. Separately whipped heavy cream with powdered sugar is folded into the peanut butter mixture to lighten the filling. The filling is spread evenly into a graham cracker crust, then chilled in the freezer for at least three hours to set.
The pie's no-bake method preserves the smoothness of the filling, complemented by the crunchy crust and a finishing touch of whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Chilling overnight enhances firmness and flavor melding.
For storage, the pie can be frozen for up to one month or refrigerated for up to three days to maintain freshness. Bringing the pie out of the freezer just before serving or storing in the refrigerator for a softer, creamier texture are both options depending on preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup powdered sugar divided
- ¾ cup peanut butter creamy; unsweetened
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- chocolate for garnish, shavings
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust store-bought or homemade, prepared
Instructions
- Place heavy cream and ¼ cup powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip until stiff peaks form. Scrape into a medium bowl and set aside.
- To the same stand mixer bowl, add remaining powdered sugar, peanut butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Mix with paddle attachment at medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and add half of the whipped cream. Cover and reserve the remaining whipped cream for serving. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
- Scrape the peanut butter mixture into the prepared crust, smoothing the filling into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the freezer to chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to serve, top with reserved whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Notes
- Store the pie covered in the freezer for up to one month or refrigerate covered for up to three days.
- To serve, thaw slightly if frozen, then top with reserved whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
- Refrigeration yields a softer, creamier texture if preferred over a firmer frozen pie.
