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

OMG I WAS SO CLOSE! I knew it was gonna be something with peanut butter, I KNEW IT! hahahaha sorry, I got excited. Yes, this looks STUNNING and mouthwatering, Katie!
No but Opening Day is always around my birthday, so I go to Dodger’s Stadium. This year it hit right on it! It was an incredible birthday full of an absurd amount of junk food from BabyCakes, absolute ridiculousness from my family, and the usual Opening Day win. I can’t wait to get coconut oil so I can try this recipe. Will be making the brownie one tonight!
Katie, I don’t mean to offend you…but have you struggled with an ED in the past? Your just so thin. I had an ED around a year ago, and went to treatment twice. Or is it because of your diet limitations? You don’t have to answer:)
This pie looks delicious, myself being a pb addict, I have to try this! And I tried out your single lady confetti cupcake, and it was yummy?

While I don’t believe you intended any harm, try to imagine how you would feel if a complete stranger suggested you were unhealthy in some way.
This looks beyond wonderful, Katie! Thanks!
Your roommate is lucky. That’s all I can say.
Wow, that looks great.
I have some coconut oil needing to be used up, and this is the perfect solution.
Could it be made with chocolate hazelnut butter?
Sounds good to me!
Oh wow! This looks so good! I need to try it asap!

Looks like a great choice for a birthday dessert to me! My birthday is in February, and I still prefer ice cream to anything else. That will always be the #1 dessert in my book. Now pair that with a warm slice of berry cobbler, and that’s perfection….
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday- happy belated!
What an amazing cake! I love peanut butetr and banana together!!!!
I can’t wait to try this! PB+ Banana+ Chocolate (planning on making a chocolate crust as well)= best combo ever 😀
Happy *belated* Birthday, Katie! This pie looks scrumptious. Will have to give it a try. My fave birthday treat is peach pie…..my mom’s peach pie to be specific!! I didn’t get one this year. I’m going to have to “remind” her that I need a Mom’s Peach Pie fix!!
I thought I was in an alternate universe…more to life than chocolate? Are you sure this is Chocolate Covered Katie?
Kidding aside I do agree that the pie looks delicious and I know my husband would love for me to whip this up.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Happy birthday Katie! Youve given many people (especially me!) the gift of hope, that there are many fab delish options even on a highly restrictive diet. I look forward to receiving each new recipe in my inbox!
And I made this pie as soon as I saw the post last night. It is so yum. I made a couple subs due to my dietary needs and it is still yum. Here’s what I did if it will help some others–I can’t really do sugars, even natural, so I cut out 2 bananas (used 1 very ripe med size), added 3oz extra firm silken tofu, stuck with stevia to sweeten (about 20 drops toffee flavor in addition to the powder you call for), added about 1/2 t maple extract to make up for missing flavor (and mine didn’t taste one bit banana-ish, for those readers not wanting banana flavor).
I also made your chocolate crust as suggested. Then, since I love cold bite size portions, I used a pb cup mold and added a scant 1/2 t crust in each, pressed to stick it, filled up the cups with pie filling (about 1 t) and froze. You could do this in ice cube trays as well (which I like to do with a lot of puddings, dips and smoothies) for small portions.
Anyway, I could hardly stop licking the utensils…
Thanks! Ann
how did you make the crust??
and can you use honey at the liquid sweetner??
want to make this soon please reply!!! 🙂
The crust recipe is linked above under one of the photos. 🙂
Hey Katie, what size pan is this for? Also, add me to the list who would be excited for a maple recipe!
It really depends on how deep you want it, and if you use crust. 🙂
