Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie is a cool and creamy no-bake dessert with lots of salty/sweet peanut butter flavor. It’s a light and refreshing pie for summer, but I love it anytime of year.

If you love peanut butter desserts as much as I do, you should also try my Peanut Butter Bundt Cake, Peanut Butter Sheet Cake, and Peanut Butter Brownies.

Ingredients Needed

Creamy Peanut Butter– I use either Jif or Skippy. I don’t recommend using an all-natural peanut butter for this recipe.

Cream Cheese– use full-fat for best flavor and be sure to fully soften it.

Powdered Sugar

Heavy Cream– use cold heavy cream.

Cream of Tartar– helps stabilize the heavy cream.

Pie Crust– use either a store-bought or homemade pie crust.
Cool Whip and Chopped Peanuts – optional for garnish.

How To Make Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a large bowl. Use either a hand-held electric mixer or a stand mixer.

In a separate bowl with clean beaters beat the heavy cream and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold whipped cream mixture into peanut butter mixture

Transfer filling to pie crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Make Ahead and Storage

You will want to make this pie at least 2 hours in advance so it has time to chill and set up. Once made it can be kept in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
