Classic Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
We are total peanut butter addicts at our house. This frozen peanut butter pie is a delicious no-bake treat that’s perfect for warm weather (who are we kidding, we make it all year long). It’s easy to whip up and even easier to devour.
You’ll need to plan ahead for this pie to freeze (but you can serve it just cold, see tips below). This recipe requires about 4 hours but only about 15 minutes hands-on time, the rest of the time it will be tucked away in your freezer. Great make ahead dessert!!
Tips For Making Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
This no-bake pie can be served frozen or cold from the refrigerator. If the pie is frozen solid, remove the pie from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving to thaw just a little.
We prefer chunky peanut butter in this pie recipe.
Use a premade graham cracker crust or chocolate cookie crust if you’re short on time, or you can make your own crust.
If you don’t have Cool Whip, homemade whipped cream will work just as well.
It’s easy to double the recipe, so keep one on hand in the freezer for unexpected guests.
When I use a graham cracker crust, I melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and spread in the bottom of the crust, then layer peanut butter filling on top of the chocolate layer. Replace peanut butter with Nutella for a great alternative!
Top with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce and chopped peanut butter cups if desired.
The pie can be tightly covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for three days.
Enjoy Summer With More No- Bake Dessert Recipes
If you are a fan of the ice cream truck classic, orange creamsicles, or dreamsicles, you’re going to love this Frozen Creamsicle Pie. It’s the perfect summer treat with an amazing vanilla-orange flavor combo and comes together in 10 minutes. The hardest part is waiting for it to set up in the freezer, although I have a little solution for that.
Frozen Strawberry Squares is a frozen dessert made with fresh strawberries and whipped cream is easy and can be made ahead a couple of days.
Brown Sugar Roasted Peach Frozen Custard – If you’re braving the hot, summer weather right now, and could use a quick, cool summer treat, this is a great recipe. Combine the signs of summer into a delicious creamy roasted peach frozen custard.
Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert. It’s the perfect sort of recipe for a summer party. It makes a TON… a good 24 to 36 servings to be exact, depending on how big you make your slices. This is the perhaps the easiest, most-decadent dessert you’ll ever make.
Biscoff Crunch Ice Cream Cake If you are a fan of cookie butter cookies or spread, you are going to love this cake! It’s made with Biscoff cookies, vanilla ice cream, Biscoff Spread, and rice cereal.
A dessert twist on the classic mint after dinner drink, this Frozen Grasshopper Pie with an Oreo Crust is one of our traditional 4th of July desserts.

Peanut butter lovers will rejoice over this retro Frozen Peanut Butter Pie with cream cheese and peanut butter filling and graham cracker crust that's ideal for any occasion. The rich decadent no bake-pie has been made in our home for decades. Serving: If the pie is frozen solid, you will need to let it sit out about 10-20 minutes before serving. I also like to serve this pie cold, not frozen, both are good! garnish with chocolate syrup and/or chopped peanut butter cups. Variations: If you don’t have Cool Whip, homemade whipped cream would work just as well.

hugging my kids and hubby soon as they wake up…thanks for sharing the story
What an inspiration. I am 100% sure that your thoughtful pie-making is blessing a lot of people right now. Thank you for your kindness and for hosting every week.
ooooh my heart breaks….I WILL make a peanut butter pie tomorrow. Those little mini ones will be perfect here. Life is so precious, I know that living with a brain tumor – feeling/seeing the pain of those left behind here tears at my heart. We can not chose how long we are here, but we CAN chose how we live our lives and impact others. This is a great post Cheryl, your family is glowing and beautiful, so are you.
Oh Cheryl, Thank you for posting this. Your family is beautiful. And my heart breaks for this poor woman. That’s my worst nightmare. I love that of all the things in the world she asked her readers to do is make their families a PB pie and to love on them. Tomorrow, I’m going to do just that! Thanks Cheryl!!!!
This has been a week full of reminders that life is precious. Your pie is gorgeous, your words are heartfelt, and you are a wonderful friend, even to those people you don’t know personally.
Such a beautiful post and pie. ?
Such a beautiful family. I’m definitely going to spend my time hugging mine too. My heart goes out to her. Thank you for sharing.
This hits too close to home for me. At 40, Dave had a massive heart attack. His right coronary artery was 100% blocked. Somehow he survived and I thank GOD every single day. Abby was only 4 months old at the time.
I am so sad for Jennie and am in tears thinking about what she is going through. It’s just awful.
What a special way for everyone to reach out to her by making the Peanut Butter Pie.
I’ll have to do that and also make Dave’s favorite oatmeal raisin cookies that I always say I’m going to make and never get around to it.
I will keep Jennie and her family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
You are wonderful to do this very special I’m Lovin’ It Cheryl. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us, for making that beautiful pie in support of Jennifer and her family. I too, do not know Jennifer personally but like all of the blogging/Twitter community that has come together to show their support to her, we have all been touched in a way that is intangible yet ever so powerful and ever so motivating.
Thank you so much for hosting! 🙂
xoxo,
Vanessa
you have such a gorgeous family Cheryl!!
My heart breaks for Jenny and her family. This had me in tears Monday morning. The blogging community can feel like such a far-flung virtual reality at times, but at other times can feel so close.
Beautiful family Cheryl. I am definitely hugging mine tighter these days.
Beautiful pie and post. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jennie and her family. I am making a key lime pie since Josh is allergic to peanut butter, but in honor of Mikey.
Looking really appealing and tasteful. Do you recommend any specific peanut butter brand for this pie?
What a beautiful post Cheryl~
Life is fragile~that is for sure.
Your pie is lovely~
Heather~Alison and Steve…even more lovely.
The link of the letter written to Jennifer was heart touching.
Sending you and your family a bundle of tight squeezes.
Love to you my friend~
ENJOY every day!
This is my first time to link up with you here. Thanks for hosting and for a great recipe!!
I can so relate to Jennie. My heart aches for her. I lost my husband, John 7 yrs ago in Feb and this week was his birthday. The tears are just about to ebb as I read her blog and know the pain she has and how every memory is bittersweet. My son, Logan and I will fix a peanut butter pie this week in honor of the love Jennie and Mikey shared. In fact, we may make 2 and share 1 with a friend to let them know how much we love them too. Prayers for the family.
Thank you for sharing! I was getting annoyed w/my hubby this morning for a few little things that shouldn’t have bothered me. Now I just want to hold him tight. I’m stopping by the store for the ingrediants on the way home…
Such a difficult time for Jennie. I watched a friend deal with the sudden loss of her husband a few years ago. It’s heartbreaking.
Thanks, Cheryl, for sharing this post. I love how our blogging community can come together to support each other. What a sad loss. I will hug my family tighter tonight, for sure.
Thanks for hosting! Hope you all are getting some rain over your way!
HUGS~
Jenni

Hi Cheryl, your pie looks beautiful and delicious and your kindness and compassion shine through it,
