We’ve had snow come down twice this week. No major storms or anything like that but just annoying amounts. Plus, it’s been so bitter cold.
Yes, I know that living in New England means it will be cold in the winter but this year really stinks! We’ve had plenty of snow already and TWO Polar Vortex’s decend upon us.
And while I would normally whine plenty while waiting for the bus in the morning and at night, I have a whole different hatred towards the winter this year. It’s all because I’m so cooped up with Autumn in the house. It’s just too cold most of the time to justify going out. Gotta keep the babe warm and toasty!
No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
The cold is making me crazy, but it doesn’t stop me from getting in the kitchen. I love spending time in the kitchen so I was really happy to whip up this Peanut Butter Pie in National Peanut Butter Day!!!!! And the dog enjoyed the extra bit of peanut butter he got as I whipped up the pie. He is such the beggar and I am such the push over. ha!
This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie is going to amaze your taste buds. It is simple, delightful pie that is loaded with a luscious peanut butter filling. You’ll love every rich bite.
The crust starts with chocolate cookies that are run through a food processor. Then you add melted butter to the cookie crumbs, Push the cookie crumbs into the pie plate.
The recipe calls for chocolate cookies, but if you can’t find plain cookies, then feel free to use Oreos.
After that you add some melted chocolate and peanuts, before popping it into the fridge to set up while you make the filling.
Then filling easily comes together in a mixing bowl, when you beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until light and fluffy. From there you continue to mix in the rest of the ingredients.
You then fold the chipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Do this gently so you keep the light texture from the whipped cream.
Spread that into the prepared pie crust and then chill for at least 3 hours.
Note- it can be a bit difficult to cut because of the layer of chocolate that is on top of the crust. Be firm with the slicing and expect the first slice to be a bit messy. I call that the host’s slice!
Grab a slice of No Bake Peanut Butter Pie and enjoy every irresistible bite. You deserve it!
PS- A picture of Autumn I took yesterday. And, I just had to share. xo
What Kind of peanut butter is in the recipe?
You want to use a creamy peanut butter. Chunky will not work for the filling. I think that Skippy or Jiff work well.
What kind of cookies are in the recipe?
A plain chocolate cookie is called for, but if you can’t find that, then just use chocolate sandwich cookies.
Can I use Whipped Topping instead of Whipped Cream?
While you can use whipped topping instead of whipped cream, I suggest whipped cream. Whipped Topping is sweetened so if you use that instead of just whipped cream (heavy cream), the pie will be pretty sweet. Other than that, you can substitute it.
