No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut Butter No Bake Pie

This dessert is great, especially in the spring and summer. It is quick and easy and won’t heat up the house. It is a rich dessert bu...t I will give you some variations at the end that you can use to modify that. It calls for peanut butter but if you don’t like peanut butter, I’ll also be giving you several variations that don’t include peanut butter.

Crust:

20 Oreo cookies, crushed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine

Mix and press into 9×13 pan. You can use store bought crusts of you prefer.

Filling:

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 (8 oz.) tub whipped topping

Beat cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar. Fold in whipped topping. Spread on crust. Chill for at least 3 hours. You can freeze, but thaw before serving.

Variations:

You can add less peanut butter if the flavor is overpowering.
Add chopped peanuts or walnuts.

Drizzle with chocolate ice cream topping.

Leave out the peanut butter altogether and add a couple tablespoons of cocoa. Then serve with fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries or bananas.

Add chocolate chips along with the peanut butter.
Leave out the peanut butter and just use chocolate chips, sprinkles or crushed candies.

Use a graham cracker crust for a less rich dessert.
