A rich and creamy no-bake peanut butter cup pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and luscious peanut butter filling, perfect for easy desserts and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons (40g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (smooth style)
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) chopped peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Make the crust (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to pack it down tightly. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the filling base (10 minutes): In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add creamy peanut butter and sifted powdered sugar. Mix until fully combined and silky.
  3. Whip the cream (5 minutes): In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. Fold cream into peanut butter mixture (5 minutes): Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula to keep the airy texture intact.
  5. Add chopped peanut butter cups (1 minute): Fold in chopped peanut butter cups, reserving a few pieces for garnish if desired.
  6. Assemble and chill (at least 4 hours): Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  7. Serve: Garnish with reserved peanut butter cup pieces or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Whip cream until soft peaks form to prevent graininess. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Chill pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Microwave peanut butter for 15 seconds if too thick. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
