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

Drool….
Uh, holly yum. I will be making this.
zomg, going to the kitchen right now. bananas and pb rock the world and always will!
This sounds absoultely perfect and scrumptious! I can NOT wait to try it! I agree, sometimes you can replace chocolate if you do it right!
🙂
Oh goodness, I was planning on saving that pb jar for later…
This looks great! What is the crust on the bottom? I would love to make this tonight!!
The crust recipe is linked under the second photo in the post 🙂
I wasn’t interested in cakes as I usually was more attracted to my presents on my birthday ! Is that weird ?? Anyway, now I understand why I wasn’t interested in it as I couldn’t eat it because of my diabete… However, I changed my mind when I started eating and cooking vegan a few years after. I realized then I could enjoy sugar-free vegan desserts without feeling deprived ! My favorite desserts are raw cheesecakes made with chocolate, coconut and peanut butter !!!
I really love your dessert. I’m pretty sure you appreciated every single bite ! Hope your mom and your friend liked it too !!!
This is life in a pie. I absolutely LOVE peanut butter and have been thinking of putting it into some sort of pie form and this looks like the perfect solution!! 😀 This could be dangerous. 😉
So fun! Gotta love an easy pie like this!
Happy Birthday, Katie! 🙂 This looks so yummy–I think I’ll have to make it for my UNbirthday! Hehe 🙂
Your new apron is so cute! And this peanut butter pie looks super delicious. For my birthday I usually make chocolate cake with loads of butter frosting on top!
Your new apron is super cute! (and the peanut butter pie looks completely decadent. yum!)
OMG YES, MY COMMENTS ON THE LAST ONE WERE ALL RIGHT!!! 🙂
I know you well…
Looks delicious!
I’m generally not one to leave comments. I’m more of a silent follower 🙂 But since I’m here and so amazed by your talent at developing healthy desserts that taste AH-MAZING!, I figure I’ll take full advantage. 1. You’re one of my favorite people 🙂 I love that you are so kind and considerate and talented (and I love that you made this blogging thing a full-time gig). and 2. OhMy Awesome! This dessert is delicious. I used frozen bananas. Skipped the sugar. And, I may have eaten half of the filling before it got to the crust 🙂 . . . My recommendation: Make this! It’s DELISH! And I might add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder next time in honor of you, CCK.
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
