Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients
- Graham cracker crust – Prepared.
- Cream cheese – Softened to room temperature.
- Peanut butter – Creamy.
- Sugar – Powdered sugar (also called confectioners sugar).
- Whipped topping – Like Cool Whip, thawed.
How do you make peanut butter pie? (step-by-step)
⭐ First, beat together cream cheese and peanut butter.
⭐ Then, sift in the powdered sugar and beat until it is totally incorporated.
⭐ Next, add the whipped topping, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
⭐ Finally, spread the peanut butter mixture into your crust and chill to set.
Preparation
Can you make a peanut butter pie ahead of time?
You can prepare this up to a day or two in advance and store it in the refrigerator. The pie can be piped with whipped cream before you refrigerate or immediately before serving. I find it’s easier to store without the topping.
The pie can also be frozen (see below in Leftovers/Storage for details).
Can I make this with a regular pie crust?
Absolutely! Make sure to bake the crust completely before adding pie filling since the filling does not get baked. This homemade pie crust recipe would work perfectly.
Leftovers and storage
How long does a peanut butter pie recipe last?
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days. For best results, store in an air tight container.
Can you freeze peanut butter pie?
Yes. First allow the pie to set completely (without the whipped cream on top) in the refrigerator (at least several hours or overnight). Then wrap it tightly before storing in the freezer for 2 – 3 months.
When wrapping, I prefer to cover the top tightly with foil, then wrap the entire dish with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t my peanut butter pie firm?
Make sure you’re allowing time for the dish to cool completely, it should chill at a bare minimum for 1 hour, but as long as overnight.
Remember, if you’re adding a lot to your refrigerator or opening it frequently this will cause the temperature to go up and it will take the contents longer to chill.
Is peanut butter pie gluten free?
The filling for this recipe is gluten free so as long as you use a gluten-free graham cracker crust, and gluten free pie filling it is a gluten-free recipe.
Tips & tricks
✅ Try a peanut butter chocolate combo with a chocolate oreo crust or chocolate graham crust and chocolate sauce drizzled over top!
✅ Use a traditional pie crust (pre-baked) instead of graham cracker.
✅ Add some texture with chopped peanuts on top.
✅ Make two and freeze one for surprise guests!
What to eat with peanut butter pie (serving suggestion)
This is a deliciously light whipped dessert, perfect after a grilled meal of cilantro lime steak or smoked chicken legs and Mexican street corn. Don’t forget some tortellini pasta salad on the side and homemade lemonade to drink!

Made with the oreo crust and its like cheese cake but a reeses. So good! It’s better the longer you let it set up so Try and make the night before if you can.
