Ingredients to Gather

You only need a few simple ingredients for this recipe!

The ingredients for the no bake peanut butter pie are laid out.

Graham Cracker Crust. Find this in this baking section of your local grocery store.
Peanut Butter. Use a creamy peanut butter. You can use whatever type of peanut butter you have on hand. If you are using natural peanut butter though, make sure to stir it well so there is no separation and the oil is incorporated well.
Cream Cheese and Powdered Sugar. Forms the base of the filling. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. It will not mix well, and the cheesecake mixture will be lumpy if the cream cheese is not softened enough.
Whipped Cream. Creates a fluffy consistency.
Chocolate Syrup. Adds the fun finishing touch and gives that delicious chocolate flavor that compliments peanut butter so well!
