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
InstructionsÂ
- *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

Could you do it without bananas? Would you have to replace it with anything?

this looks SO GOOD!!! i LOVE peanut butter…easily my favorite food. thanks for the recipe, i love your blog!!!
We eat cake & there’s ALWAYS ice cream. Not a birthday without those two!
Happy belated birthday Katie! Peanut butter is definitely chocolate’s BFF, so you’ve got the best of both worlds here! I used to buy a vanilla (yes vanilla, can I still comment here? :-)) cake on my birthday, but now I prefer to make my own treat!
OMG!!! Katie you should totally try making this with dark chocolate dreams pb…amazing!
I think that might be the best idea ever! 🙂
OMG! I just bought some yesterday…great, fantastic, wonderful IDEA!
Best looking dessert ever!
Happy (late) Birthday! This looks amazing. As always. 🙂
Hi Katie,
Any chance you could post the recipe amounts in metric measurements as well as the US cups, i.e. grams, millilitres etc. I love your blog – as I’m sure many outside the US do – but have had a few recipe disasters because I figured out the cup conversion wrong!
Thanks,
Emma
They’re actually already listed.
I had a feeling that if the dessert wasn’t chocolate, it had to be pb! My family would always make a special ice cream cake with layers of peppermint ice cream, Oreos and chocolate syrup. It’s soooooo sweet, but as a kid I loved it!
I totally have all of these ingredients in my house as we speak! I know whats for dessert tonight 🙂
Oh my word! I need to make this ASAP! This looks so delicious 🙂
That looks amazing! I absolutely love how there are minimal ingredients in this. It makes life a while lot easier and definitely am more likely to actually have the stuff around the house. I might try adding cinnamon and frozen blueberries to the mix. OM NOM NOM!!!
Happy belated birthday! 🙂
That looks delicious, I hope you had a great birthday! And I don’t have a specific birthday treat, I don’t usually do much for my birthday! My mom stopped getting us cakes when I was probably 10… which is sad because cake is my favorite food! (okay, really just the icing…)
Yummy! I simply love everything peanut butter. And no bake is perfect 😉
A whole peanut butter pie sounds like the best way to celebrate a birthday! Love how easy it is. Hope you had a great birthday!
I knew it had to be peanut butter if it wasn’t chocolate! Looks super tasty.
