Peanut Butter Pie FAQ

Yes! This no bake peanut butter pie is best if frozen and then thawed about an hour before you are ready to serve.
Creamy is what we always use, but crunchy will work too!
Instead of using 16 oz of Cool Whip, you can replace this with 8 oz of heavy whipping cream. Also, you might want to whip this up to thick peaks first before you add it to the rest of the ingredients.
What you need to make peanut butter pie
1 cup powdered sugar
1 8oz package cream cheese
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 16oz container of cool whip
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
How to make this no bake pie
The first step in making this peanut butter pie is to add the powdered sugar and cream cheese into a mixing bowl. You will then want to whip the two together for at least 3-5 minutes or until creamy in texture.
The next step is adding in the creamy peanut butter. Again, you will want to mix this for a few minutes. It will resemble that of a peanut butter cookie dough.
The final step to making this peanut butter pie is to add in the cool whip. Start out by adding in half of the container. When this has been mixed thoroughly, add in the other half of the cool whip.
Scoop the mixture into a graham cracker crust. You can serve right away or referigerate it for an hour to make the slices come out easier!
(Optional) If you are really wanted to wow your guests, you can melt some peanut butter and drizzle it on top of a slice of peanut butter pie. Also, you can top it with some chocolate chips!

This is one recipe I use a good bit. It is incredibly sweet, I was thinking of cutting back on the confectionery sugar. Not because of calories just because it is just a tad too sweet from being perfect for my palate. Has anyone tried this? Recommendation please. Ty🙂

I live in Canada and the cool whip comes in 1 litre containers. Do I need 1 or 2 containers of cool whip. Thank you

For this recipe I use 16oz of cool whip, so you would need about 1/2 of the container. Hope this helps!
