Does your family have special birthday dessert traditions? My mom has been making this no-bake peanut butter pie for my sister on her birthday every year since she was three years old. It’s a scrumptious tradition that the whole family looks forward to enjoying when we celebrate her!

My special birthday dessert is this Oreo Ice Cream Pie. It’s a must try, too! We certainly don’t limit these recipes to just birthday celebrations as they make for great warm-weather desserts at our summer gatherings.

This no-bake peanut butter pie recipe couldn’t be any easier. Just keep in mind, you’ll want to make (and chill) the pie crust in advance so it’s cold and ready to hold your pie filling.

  1. This was a huge hit! I decorated the top with drizzled melted chocolate- and different sliced up mini candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, Reese’s peanut butter cups) so yummy and easy!

    1. Hi, Anna! So happy to hear that everyone enjoyed it! And sliced candy bars on top sounds AMAZING!

  2. Would it be ok to make the pie filling and the graham cracker crust separately then store in the fridge for about 24 hours before putting them together? I have more time now, but I need the pie about a day and a half later. I’m so excited to try this recipe!

    1. Hi Beka! I haven’t tested the recipe with sun butter so I couldn’t say for sure how the texture would turn out, but it’s certainly worth a try. Just be sure your sun butter is well mixed and has a similar consistency to regular creamy peanut butter. I hope it turns out just as great. Enjoy!

  3. I make this for my husband all the time. He loves it. He don’t even ask me to make it for him he just comes home with the ingredients( which he memorized) . And I know he wants me to make it for him. Very easy to make and delicious






    1. Hi, Lisa! HA! I love this so much. Super subtle of him. 😂 I am so glad that y’all enjoy it so much.

    1. Hi, JK! This recipe really is best with a graham cracker crust. But I’m a firm believer in “anything is worth a try!” You’ll have to let me know how it goes.

    1. Hi, Coco! I haven’t tried this recipe with unsweetened peanut butter, but it’s a fairly sweet treat, so I don’t know that I’d adjust it too much. Too much powdered sugar could affect the texture.
