No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
This super, super easy no-bake pie is essentially like a if a peanut butter cup became a pie. I am the kind of person who keeps peanut butter cups in her freezer for a late night treat. So this no-bake peanut butter pie is exactly up my alley!
And like my no-bake pumpkin pie, this utilizes a store-bought chocolate crust. You could totally make your own from crushed up Oreo cookies, but using a store-bought option makes the preparation for this dessert as easy as pie. Ha! Sorry, but I had to.
The filling is only five ingredients and requires some mixing and folding, but not much else.And now I can’t mention "folding" as a cooking term without thinking of David and Moria folding in the cheese … Schitt’s Creek fans will know what I’m talking about.
You can refrigerate or freeze this, depending on the texture you prefer. If you do choose to freeze, just remember to set it out before serving so you’ll be able to easily slice into it.
This is a fun one! Make this no-bake peanut butter soon, you won’t be sorry! xo. EmmaNo-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
