This no-bake peanut butter pie is ultra creamy and completely delicious!
I need to tell you something… and it’s pretty shocking.
You might want to sit down for this.
There’s more to life than chocolate.
I didn’t believe it either, until I tried this rich and creamy no-bake peanut butter pie. It’ll only take one bite to convince you: There is life outside Planet Chocolate.
For my birthday every year, I usually have my favorite: The Ultimate Chocolate Pie
However, this no-bake peanut butter pie was so good it forced me to make an exception. Really, I didn’t miss the chocolate one bit.
So you know it must have been good!
Technically, chocolate did still make an appearance at the party—in the crust and topping.
Just because life exists outside of chocolate doesn’t mean we should pack our bags and move away forever.
Please, let’s not go too crazy now.
Is there a special dessert that you always eat on your birthday?
In my family, we have this cake called Maple Chiffon Cake, and pretty much all of my relatives have that cake on their birthdays– uncles, aunts, mom, dad, sister… just not me.
Even as a little kid, I wasn’t interested if it wasn’t chocolate!
And I prefer pie to cake, so I’ve had a lot of chocolate pie birthdays.
It never gets old.
With my Healthy Chocolate Pie Crust
No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly alternative
- 3 medium bananas (Here is a Banana Free Version)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt, plus pinch more if using unsalted pb
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted (Can sub 1/4 cup extra pb; the texture will just change)
- sweetener of choice to taste, or 4 tbsp powdered sugar or pure maple syrup
Instructions
- *The recipe yields a thin pie, so if you want a deeper recipe be sure to try this Peanut Butter Pie Recipe instead.Blend everything together very well in a food processor or high speed blender. Pour into a prepared pie crust or springform pan--this pie can easily be crustless!--and freeze until firm. (If not using the coconut oil, just chill in the fridge instead.) Pie should be kept cold; I keep it in the freezer. Just thaw before eating, and the mousse-like texture will come right back!View Nutrition Facts

Yes! https://lett-trim.today/2012/05/13/ridiculously-easy-chocolate-pie-crust/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Looks Delish but what is the bottom of the pie?

This looks delicious! I may try it some time for a gathering. Very very rich to be termed as “Healthy” though. 121.5 out of 170 calories per serving are from fat! But, I am a HCLF vegan so I just can’t eat high fat things or it upsets my stomach since I am not used to it anymore. At least you get those omegas in there 🙂
Simply wonderful! Thanks Katie. I made this with everything in the vita-mix, substituting regular roasted peanuts for peanut butter. Marvelous.
This recipe is delicious! First time eating peanut butter pie since becoming vegan and it is just as heavenly 🙂 thanks! The only thing I changed was instead of 3 bananas, I used 1 banana and 2 cups of coconut milk yogurt!
I’ve lost count of how many times I have made this recipe. It’s incredible!
Katie I wonder if you could help me with something??? I have diabetes and LOVE pecan pie Thanksgiving! Obviously due to the diabetes I cannot have it any longer. So I wonder can you develop a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan pie somehow from your black bean pie/brownie recipes that would be far healthier carb and sugar wise for me?????? Thanks so much in advance………..
Do a have suggestions for a crust recipe?
Sure! https://lett-trim.today/2012/05/13/ridiculously-easy-chocolate-pie-crust/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
After a tough break-up, this is just the kind of comfort food I need! 😛
Yum!!! Pinned to my recipes to try! This pie looks so delicious. I go crazy over creamy peanut butter!
are the nutritional facts on this peanut butter pie with or without the crust?
Soooooo good!
would this still work if using pb2 (powdered peanut butter)?
My husband made the Black Bean Brownies. My picky daughter was suspicious and declared there was something “not right” about them but my husband and I loved them. Thanks for the recipe.
Katie, I am just wondering if cacao butter can step in as a substitute for coconut oil in most dessert recipes? I detest the taste of coconut oil (as does my partner) but we like cacao butter. I have a huge chunk of it here ready to use if I know I can sub it out in recipes. Thank you.
