A rich and creamy no-bake peanut butter pie topped with a silky chocolate drizzle, perfect for quick and easy dessert cravings without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until all crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture feels like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling Base: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Fold the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Make the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly until thickened but still pourable.
  7. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the chocolate over the pie in a zigzag or swirl pattern. Optionally, sprinkle chopped peanuts or sea salt on top. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. Serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks for a light, airy filling. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Melt chocolate in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning. For best texture and flavor, refrigerate pie overnight.
