Common questions about making your No Bake Peanut Butter Pie:
What kind of peanut butter should I use?
I like to use a high quality creamy peanut butter to keep the filling smooth. Jif and Skippy are both great brands.
Can I make a homemade crust?
Absolutely! I normally use a store bought crust to save time {but I still set it in a pie plate} but I have an awesome Oreo Crust recipe here.
You can make it in a springform pan or in a pie plate.
Does the No Bake Peanut Butter Pie need to be refrigerated?
This Peanut Butter Pie needs to be refrigerated to set up nicely. I like to refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before cutting it.
It is also important to refrigerate it because the cream cheese and Cool Whip require refrigeration.
What kind of whipped topping should I use for my no bake peanut butter pie?
I prefer to use the whipped topping you find in the freezer section of your grocery store. Defrost and refrigerate it until you are ready to use it.
If you prefer to use a homemade whipped cream, combine 1 cup of heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Use a mixer to beat the ingredients until you have stiff peaks, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla, stir and use.
What other toppings can I put on my No Bake Peanut Butter Pie?
You can use almost anything for toppings. I think pretzels, sprinkles, shaved chocolate, melted peanut butter, M&M’s, Snickers candy bars or any other kind of peanut based candy would be awesome!
