This easy no-bake pie is one of my peanut butter-loving daughter’s creations.

So, the original post got a makeover, complete with new pictures!

And even when it’s too hot to use the oven, you can still enjoy a slice of pie after dinner or breakfast or lunch, or whenever you want. No judging here! That’s the best thing about no-bake desserts!

This dessert is also incredibly easy to make, especially since you use a premade graham cracker crust. We used a chocolate graham cracker crust, but you can use a plain one if you prefer.chea eam

How to Make No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Like I said, this peanut butter pie recipe is incredibly easy. Basically, you’re just doing a lot of mixing.

You start out by beating cream cheese and peanut butter together with a hand mixer until the mixture is nice and smooth.

Then, you gradually add some powdered sugar and cocoa powder. You don’t want to dump everything in at once –otherwise, you’ll get a big powdered sugar mess. And you don’t want that!

This recipe calls for a tiny bit of cinnamon. I love cinnamon, but if you don’t, you can easily leave it out.

When the mixture is nice and smooth, fold in a container of whipped topping and some chopped mini peanut butter cups. Feel free to grab a taste or two as you go!

Pour the peanut butter mixture into your graham cracker pie crust, and let the pie hang out in the fridge until it’s firm enough to cut. If you want to speed things up, or you want an extra firm filling, you can freeze it, instead. Just remember to let the pie thaw out before you try to cut it!

We like to top this no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie with a layer of fluffy whipped topping or whipped cream. And for the finishing touch, you have to add more mini peanut butter cups!

Tips for making No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
