No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Hands down, the BEST Peanut Butter Pie EVER! With a salty pretzel crust, a creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling, topped with whipped cream, salted peanuts and a drizzle of dark chocolate.

This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie needs to come with a warning.

Deliciously easy, completely no bake and totally face-plant-worthy, it is IMPOSSIBLE to stop at just one piece (trust me).

You’re going to fall head over heels for this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.

Let me describe this pie from top to bottom.

First, the crust. This is no ordinary crust. It’s made from sweet store bought cookies AND salty pretzels. Crunchy, buttery and a little sweet and salty 👌🏻

Next comes that ridiculously rich peanut butter filling, made with tangy cream cheese and melt-in-your-mouth cream.

Once set, the final touch is a thick layer of fluffy homemade whipped cream, a sprinkling of salted roasted peanuts and a drizzle of dark chocolate.

Sweet, salty and just a little over the top. This just might be our best dessert yet.

If you love peanut butter desserts, this pie is for YOU.

Tips for making Peanut Butter Pie

• Use a food processor or blender to crush your cookies and pretzels until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix well with melted butter and press firmly into your pie plate using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
• When making the peanut butter filling, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This will make sure your filling is smooth and creamy and doesn’t have any lumps. Also don’t use light or spreadable cream cheese, for maximum flavour and the right texture, use a full fat block of cream cheese.
• Same goes for the cream, you want to use whipping cream, called thickened cream here in Australia. This is important to make sure the peanut butter pie holds it’s shape when cut.
• This Peanut Butter Pie needs time to set. If you’re serving it for guests, make it the night before so it has plenty of time to set. Just before serving, top with whipped cream, peanuts and chocolate.
