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

Any link to the recipe for the gorgeous crust i see?
Never mind about the crust- I found the link! I’m so excited to make this happen this weekend!
Made this for my daughter Katie’s 28th birthday. It is AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing it Katie!
I made this and it is so rich, only a small piece is needed. Everyone raved about it. The one thing I would like others to know is that its best fresh, delicious. But if you try to keep it in frig a couple of days it doesn’t taste nearly as good. I think the bananas were starting to ferment. so its best to put in freezer to prevent that from happening. thank you Katie!
I couldn’t entertain my friends that can’t have sugar (because it feeds cancer) without you. I thank you and my friends thank you, Katie!
Dear Kate,
I wanted to thank you for this amazingly delicious and simple recipe. My 5 year old son LOVES it and I let him eat it after dinner, daily! I skip the crust and sweeten with only bananas (sometimes a little stevia). I haven’t tried with sunflower or almond butter yet, but I am sure they will be tasty, too.THANK YOU!!!
Since I do not use coconut products and will be adding more peanut butter or almond butter, can this pie be frozen and served like an ice cream pie,only slightly defrosted or straight from the refrigerator like an icebox pie?
Great recipe. Thanks. https://www.afu.ac.ae/en/why-afu/

oh my god i wanna eat this every day for the rest of my life!!!

Hi, how long would this pie keep in the freezer?
I just made this using 2 “regular” bananas and 1 over-ripe banana. It is delicious but it does taste a lot like banana. I don’t mind it, personally, but if you want the banana flavor to be minimal, I recommend not using over-ripe, or maybe even fully ripened, bananas. The pair is delicious though! I made it with the chocolate crust.
This looks so creamy, fudgy and delicious! Peanut butter is one of my favorite flavors!
Katie, could I make this by substituting actual peanut butter with powdered peanut butter like PB2 reconstituted with water/milk? What do you think?
Hi, Katie!! Peanut butter is seriously my favorite! And I love it when your recipes are stevia sweetened as well. I’m considering making this for my birthday as well, which is coming up in less than a month. Out of curiosity, what did you use for the chocolate pie crust? Thanks in advance!!
Oh my goodness. I took one lick of the peanut butter mixture and literally cried out, “I love you, Katie!” It tastes like the peanut butter and banana sandwiches I used to eat as a kid! Sooooo good! One question: does the calorie information include the crust? I calculated the calorie count on myfitnesspal, and the number was significantly higher, despite my having used no added sugar.
