Imagine a pie that tastes like the filling of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and you’ll come pretty close to this no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie.
Dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and a secret healthy ingredient none of your guests will ever notice. Although there’s another recipe for no-bake peanut butter pie already on the blog, this time I wanted to create a pie even banana-haters can enjoy. You will find no banana, no flour, and no soy in today’s recipe.
But you will most definitely find chocolate.
And peanut butter.
If you like Reeses, this peanut butter pie is a must-try!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pie
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, or allergy-friendly alternative (345g)
- 2 cups thick plain or vanilla yogurt (I used 3 containers SoDelicious coconutmilk yogurt) (480g)
- pure stevia to taste, or 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Prepared pie crust or Healthy Chocolate Pie Crust
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, agave, or honey (strict vegans don’t use honey) (30g)
- 2 tbsp melted virgin coconut oil (Alternatively, you can simply top the pie with melted chocolate chips.)(20g)
Blend first 5 ingredients until smooth. Pour into your prepared pie crust and chill one hour (or more). In a small dish, stir together the remaining ingredients until a smooth sauce is formed. Spread over the chilled pie and refrigerate until chocolate hardens.

Brought this cake to a friend of mine who loooves peanutbutter. She inhaled it, and so did my kids 😀
Katie, you’re a genious!
I found this recipe and drooled a little and was going to share it on my Facebook cooking page, but can’t bring myself to do it.
Honey is an animal product. It’s not that “strict vegans” don’t consume honey. Regular vegans don’t consume honey. If they do, they’re no more vegan than if they’d consumed dairy, eggs or animal flesh. It’s not a vegan option and our presenting it as such really confuses things.

The recipe specifically lists vegan options that you can use…
I saw that, thanks. That wasn’t my point. Honey was described as something “strict vegans” won’t eat. I was just pointing out that your ordinary ol’ garden variety of vegan won’t eat it, either, since it’s an animal product. Honey is no different from dairy, eggs, meat, et al.
In the recipe FAQs, Katie states that all of her recipes are vegan, so it seemed to send out a confusing message to have honey listed as an option, since it’s not suitable for vegans.
This looks delicious! Could you use Greek yogurt instead as that is what I have on hand?
This came out FABULOUS!
Words cannot even describe how good it is.
Made this last night and it’s almost HALF GONE! How did that happen? Ha! 😉 😉
How do you think this would turn out substituting reconstituted peanut butter powder for the nut butter?
I made this and froze it and it is like Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie! Delicious! Also, wondering if you can make the healthy crust nut free by using oats and seeds? Anyone tried it?
Hi, do you think i could use soya yoghurt in this as i am vegan
Katie is actually a vegan as well. Yes, soy yogurt will work in all her recipes.
This is my second time making this pie and I LOVE it! Peanut butter is definitely a favorite of mine, and I would sooner eat this than a Reese’s peanut butter cup! It’s so rich and delicious, you can’t even tell it’s healthy 🙂 My dad thought it was a peanut butter cheesecake, he was surprised when I told him it was just peanut butter and yogurt 😛
I just made this pie. I couldn’t resist tasting the peanut butter mixture before putting it into the fridge….it was so good! I can’t wait to try it with the chocolate topping and your chocolate crust! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Wow. That’s all there really is to say about this recipe because it’s A-mazing! My boyfriend and parents couldn’t believe it’s vegan, and frankly, neither can I.
I halved this recipe and instead of making it in to a pie I poured the filling in to small ramekins. It set no problem! I also used coconut yogurt (coyo brand) and melted vegan choc chips for the ganache bit. What a recipe. Thank you, Katie!
I just made this as a Father’s Day treat – it’s setting up in the fridge right now. However, I did have to add double the amount of powdered sugar and more vanilla to try and lessen the tang of the yogurt. I used Chobani yogurt and 2 cups = four containers. …yikes! I also ran out of creamy peanut butter and had to use crunchy, but it all blended creamy. Unfortunately, I overheated my blender! I think I need a Vitamix 🙁 I used a Blendtec.
This is SO yummy! You are making a soft food diet bearable. Your web site should be given out to every patient who needs their jaw shut / a soft food diet for any length of time. This pie is truly delicious.
Do you blend it in the blender or just by hand?
This pie is DELICOUS!! It tastes better than the unhealthy version my family would make during the holidays. It was easier to make as well. I just love your recipes. 🙂
Has anyone tried this with PB2?
