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

Happy birthday for the other day!
You have done it again!!! This looks absolutely amazing! I am picking up my peanut butter right after work today
happy late birthday! looks so goood, i make mine same recipe just a block of silken tofu and 1/4 maple syrup n its the best thing ever..no1 ever believe its vegan!
I just whipped together the peanut butter pie! I used my smallest springform pan (8″). The filling didn’t really fill too much of the pan. What size do you recommend? Should I have doubled it? This filling tastes amazing & I can hardly wait for it to set up!!! Also, I cannot comment on FB, why?? Thanks
I used a regular sized springform… maybe 8in? But the crust took up some space as well. You can’t comment on fb? On the CC Diet facebook page? Uh oh, that’s weird! What error message are you getting?
yummmmmmmmmm! That pie looks so good!!! 😀
Does the nutritional info include the crust?
I srsly love you. This looks delicious! What crust did you use? It looks like a date/chocolate/nut crust.
Crust recipe is linked under the second photo in the post 🙂
Totally missed that little link! Geez. Im getting old. :-/.

That pie looks as lovely as you do! Happy birthday!! I might have to request this pie for my bday that’s coming up…….
Happy Belated Birthday, oh so sweet CCK! This looks so delicious! I of course loved chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and later in life with chocolate ganache, although I do like red velvet, it’s pretty and it does have cocoa in it :).
I LOVE peanut butter!! & I love bananas. They are both very healthy ingredients. However, I am making this without stevia extract and just using regular sugar. Fake sweeteners or “natural” sweeteners scare me especially when they are 0 calories. Plus 15 cal/tsp is not going to hurt! The key is moderation!!
You’re welcome to have your own principles about the sweeteners you use. But just to be clear, stevia is produced from a plant which has sweet-tasting leaves, just like sugar cane that has sweet tasting stalks. Though it has like 0 calories per packet, it’s not related to the 0 calorie artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose.
yo, just to clarify though, stevia is not FDA approved as a food additive whereas aspartame and sucralose are. stevia is GRAS (generally regarded as safe, a term really means that it’s merely been grandfathered in), but it HAS NOT in fact undergone nearly as much stringent testing as have other non-nutritive sweeteners. people tend to think that because stevia “comes from a plant” and is “natural”, it’s safer than sweeteners that were discovered in a lab, but in reality it may be entirely the opposite.
The artificial sweeteners you mentioned are absolutely NOT safe for human or animal consumption. The FDA passes a lot of things as “safe” that are in fact not safe at all. If you are worried about specific sweeteners, natural or lab created, research it a bit.. Stevia has been used in other countries for over a thousand years to treat diabetes and other blood sugar issues and as a natural sweetener. That being said, it was used in it’s whole leaf form, not some sketchy white powder.
happy belated bay!!
There’s life after chocolate? That doesn’t sound like much of a life really……ha! Kidding! Well kind of. Does it count if the thing I say I love to eat on my bay is anything I don’t have to cook? LOL!
Happy Birthday Katie!!!!
This pie looks amazing – but then again, all your food does!!
I hope you had tons of fun on your special day. Relax, take it easy, and enjoy life. 🙂
Yum!.. peanut butter is one of my favorite foods ever.
This cakes looks absolutely to die for!! I usually have my mom make me one of her cherry cheesecakes; which I love…….but I may have to request this next year!!
This was EXCELLENT, we just made this and just eat it out of the bowl with no crust! lol Thank you for hard work in creating excellent, healthy alternatives to our favorite desserts!
