Peanut butter pie ingredients and some notes

This pie is more than just a healthier dessert option. The dates provide natural sweetness along with fiber and minerals. Peanut butter delivers protein and healthy fats. Even better? The healthy fats and protein help prevent the sugar crash you might get from traditional desserts.

Here’s everything you need to make this creamy, no-bake peanut butter pie—simple, wholesome ingredients for a deliciously healthy dessert!

For the creamy peanut butter filling:

Peanut butter – Check the label and make sure that the only ingredients are peanuts and salt.
Dates – Medjool dates are the type you’ll need. This type of date is so naturally sweet and delicious, while also offering a lot in the form of nutrition. They truly are an amazing thing.
Milk – Any type of milk you want or have can be used. I used whole milk, but I know for sure almond milk works just as well.
Vanilla – A splash of vanilla adds warmth and depth, enhancing the sweet, nutty flavors in this creamy peanut butter pie.

For the graham cracker crust:

Graham crackers – You’ll need about 12 full sheets crushed into crumbs.
Honey – The honey not only adds a little bit of sweetness, but also helps that crust stick together.
Butter – Gives moisture and flavor.

How to make no-bake peanut butter pie

Ready to make this creamy, dreamy treat? Here’s how to whip up your healthy no-bake peanut butter pie in just a few easy steps.

Make the crust. Put the graham crackers in a gallon sized plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into crumbs. Add the crumbs to a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and honey. Mix together until it looks like wet sand. Press the mixture into a lightly greased pie plate.
Blend up filling. In a high speed blender add the peanut butter, dates, milk, and vanilla. Blend until very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Assemble. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing the surface with a rubber spatula.
Chill. Put it into the fridge and let the pie chill for at least 2 hours to set.

Prep tips

Ready to make the perfect no-bake peanut butter pie? Here are some helpful tips to ensure your pie turns out creamy, delicious, and irresistibly good.

Use the best dates you can. Look for plump, moist Medjool dates with a glossy skin. They should feel soft and sticky, not dry or shriveled.
Use the right peanut butter. Make sure your natural peanut butter is well stirred and only has peanuts and salt as it’s ingredients. To make the filling super smooth, use creamy peanut butter (although I’ve made this with chunky peanut butter and after going through the blender with the other ingredients, it was super smooth and you would never guess it used chunky peanut butter).
Blend until super smooth. Make sure to thoroughly blend the filling in a high speed blender until very smooth. You may need to occasionally scrape down the sides to make sure everything is blended.

Swap out the peanut butter. Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to change things up.
Add chocolate. Make it extra chocolatey by adding 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the filling.
Boost the protein. For a protein boost, blend in your favorite unflavored or vanilla flavored protein powder.
Skip the nuts. Create a nut-free version by using sunflower seed butter instead.
Go dairy-free. Use almond, cashew, or coconut milk to make the pie filling totally dairy free.

How to store leftovers

To store your no-bake peanut butter pie, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (but honestly, this pie has never lasted longer than 2 days in my house because we eat it up).
