No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie Recipe Ingredients

Crust

• 40 Buttery round crackers (such as Ritz)
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 6 Tbsp. salted butter, melted

Filling

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
• 2/3 cup raspberry preserves, whisked

How To Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

1. Make the crust: In a food processor, process the crackers and brown sugar until finely ground. With the motor running, slowly pour in the melted butter and process until the mixture is the texture of coarse sand. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze for 20 minutes.
2. Make the filling: In a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the whipped topping and beat on medium speed until smooth.
3. Assemble and chill: Dollop half of the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust. Dollop 1/3 cup of the raspberry preserves over the filling and use a knife to swirl it in. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter filling and raspberry preserves. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.

Recipe Tips

• How to get a non-soggy crust? Freezing the crust for at least 20 minutes is the key. This helps the butter firm up and creates a solid barrier that prevents the creamy filling from making the bottom soft.
• Can I make this pie ahead of time? Absolutely! This is a perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare the pie and let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• How do I get a smooth filling? The secret is to use room temperature cream cheese, which allows it to beat into a smooth, lump-free base without any graininess.
• What if I don’t have a food processor? You can easily make the crust without one. Place the crackers in a large, sealed zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a heavy can. Then, mix the crumbs with the brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl.
