This pie is like the lovechild of peanut butter cheesecake and whipped cream cloud. It’s cool and creamy with the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and nutty. The graham cracker crust adds a buttery crunch that plays perfectly against the soft, rich filling.
And that crumble on top? A little sweet-salty magic that takes it just over the top. This dessert is luscious without being too heavy—and somehow even better on day two (if it lasts that long!).

How to Make Peanut Butter Cream Pie
1. Make the Creamy Filling
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy.
2. Sweeten It Up
Add in the powdered sugar and beat again until fully combined. It should be thick, creamy, and slightly glossy.
3. Fold in the Whipped Topping
Gently fold in half of the whipped topping until just blended. Don’t overmix—you want to keep the filling light and airy.
4. Fill the Crust
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
5. Top with Whipped Topping
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the filling. You can also pipe it for a fancy finish!
6. Make the Crumb Topping
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon peanut butter using a fork until small, sweet crumbs form. Sprinkle them over the top.
7. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to firm up before slicing. Slice, serve, and watch the magic happen. 🥄
What to Serve With Peanut Butter Cream Pie
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel
- Crushed peanuts or peanut butter cups on top
- A hot cup of coffee or cold milk
- Fresh strawberries for a fruity contrast
Tips for the Best Pie Every Time
- Soften your cream cheese fully to avoid lumps!
- Use a pre-made crust for convenience, or make your own if you’re feeling extra.
- Chill for at least 2 hours—longer is better!
- Want a firmer texture? Freeze the pie for 30 minutes before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Yes! Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
