I feel like this time of year we always get invited to barbecues and family dinners last minute. I always feel obligated to bring something, so I usually go to one of my old, fast favorites… Peanut Butter Pie.
This is actually really good as a pie or a fruit dip.
The best part is it only take 5 minutes to make… seriously.
The perfect dish for Spring!
INGREDIENTS FOR 5 MINUTE PEANUT BUTTER PIE
9 inch graham cracker crust
8oz cream cheese
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 tbsp milk or milk substitute
8oz Cool Whip
Reese’s peanut butter chips (optional)
The very best part is you can grab all of these ingredients from the store while you’re there shopping for your party supplies, home decorations, seasonal decor, cleaning supplies, personal or household needs. I was actually quite happy with how many groceries I was able to shop for while I was there. Makes my life easier with one-stop shopping!
Ok… back to my favorite Springtime dessert… peanut butter pie!
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy.
Next add peanut butter and milk. Beat until creamy.
Fold in Cool Whip.
Pour into pie crust and serve immediately or chill overnight.
Garnish with Reese’s peanut butter chips for extra goodness.
See? Didn’t I tell you it was only 5 minutes! And SO EASY!!
And if you want to make it as a fruit dip,
just pour it into your favorite bowl instead of a graham cracker crust.
So easy! …and delicious 😉
So light and fluffy too.
Perfect for a Springtime dessert! Happy eating!

I finally made the pie but a half of cup of peanut butter is clearly not enough to go with a whole 8oz tub of cool whip, unless you just want a cool whip pie with a taste of peanut butter, so I added another cup of pb to the mix and now I think I have a peanut butter pie.

Glad you liked it. And anything is better with more peanut butter 😉
Issy says
I have a question. I
am on a low sugar and low carb diet. What can I substitute to make this pie work. Do you know the calorie count of the pie please.
Jojo says
I also added one cup of peanut butter and also only added half the cool whip into the mixture. I used the other half of cool whip to top the pie. It was delicious !!

Awesome! And thanks for the tip, Jojo! I’ll have to try that 😉

I made this also but I used the chocolate or oreo crust and put about 1/4 jar of fudge ice cream topping in the bottom of the crust, then the pie mixture with added pbutter, and then more fudge topping on top and my husband and brother both were begging for me to make another pie – and request it for EVERY holiday! Thanks for making me look good!!
howtonestforless says
Hah! Can’t wait to try your version!!
Shanell says
I used semi sweet chocolate chips to fill the bottom of crust with some fudge and added mini Reese cups (crushed) to blend with a cup of Pb instead of half and coated top with mini chocolate chips and used the buttercup chocolates around rim to decorate. Big hit and very quick and easy. Love it and I have tried it with half the Pb for fruit dip which it’s perfect for but I like my desserts super sweet and chocolaty.
Celia says
Looks delicious. It’d be great if you could link a printable version of just the recipe, unless I missed it! Thanks!
Missy says
Oh my was this pie tasty. I took it to work and it was a hit. Thank you
Pattie says
Looks great,can’t wait to make
Judy Bunge says
Looks yummie can’t wait to make it.
Linda says
Instead of graham crust I use an oreo crust and sprinkle some oreo crumbles on top OMG delicious
Cindy says
I made it a 3 minute pie lol and threw it all together at one time and it came out great was a huge hit..
Christine says
I realize this is an older blog post but I just wanted to add that this is also really good with crushed nutter butters or vanilla wafers for the pie crust. I have also taken some of the mixter with whipped cream and folded in some melted chocolate for different pie layers (although that does make it a little longer than a five minute pie). So good–my husband’s favorite.

Those sound like great ideas. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
