Have a slice of pie. A Gluten Free Peanut Butter Pie. It’s super easy and no bake. The pie is rich and delicious taste-wise while still being light and fluffy. It’s a 7 ingredient old fashioned style recipe that people will ask for again and again.
Does anyone else look for more ways to eat peanut butter? Healthy gluten free options are eating it on apples or celery. A big ol’ spoonful is yummy on its own. How about on toasted gluten free bread? Ok, now let’s put it into dessert with this easy peanut butter pie.
Chunky or Smooth – Which Peanut Butter Should You Use
The answer is whichever is your favorite. Smooth and chunky are both perfect for this recipe. Honey roasted peanut butter works too, if that’s your fancy.
Peanut Butter Pie Tips
A few tips to make this easy recipe even easier.
The pie crust should be cooled completely before filling it.
Leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for a 2-3 hours to make sure it is soft. This makes it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
The whipped topping should be thawed in the refrigerator before making the pie.
Honey Nut and Regular Cheerios will work in the crust. For more crust tips check out this post on the Cheerios crust.
I used a 9.5 inch pie plate for this recipe. Use whatever size you have. Your crust thickness will vary depending on what size pie plate you use.
Top the pie with crushed peanuts, chocolate chips or more whipped topping.
Guys, there isn’t much to say about this easy dessert other than the last time I made it and shared it with the neighbors, they all scarfed it down and reported back to me at how good it was.
