Truthfully, this is a combination of a peanut butter pie and a cheesecake, but for our sake, let’s call it a no bake cheesecake. It’s so delectable, you’ll just call it amazing. This easy cheesecake only takes 10 minutes to make, IF you cheat and and purchase a pie crust, just as I did. Sure, it will crumble, but that’s the glory of it! I combined a few of my favorite cheesecake and peanut butter pie recipes to create one with the best features of each. It’s rich, but not too rich and oh so creamy.

Author: Julie Blanner
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- ½ pint heavy cream
- 1½ c powdered sugar
- 1 c peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened {I use ⅓ less fat}
- oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream, gradually increasing speed. Once it is stiff and forming soft peaks, blend in powdered sugar, a half cup at a time.
- Add peanut butter, blend. {Warning: do not taste...if you do, you may never get to the next step...there's not much better to me than peanut butter cream}.
- Add cream cheese.
- Scoop batter into your crust, smooth, garnish and refrigerate 2 hours before serving. {Shown with chocolate shavings and roasted peanuts}.
That looks yummy and yeah, amazing! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
This was soooo delicious! I’m in love!
Touche about the don’t eat the peanut butter cream part…. almost lost track of the main plan. Anyways! I also bought a premade crust, but used heavy cream and chocolate, melted it down and poured that in to make a nice lining in between the plain graham cracker crust and peanut butter concoction. Once I made the cheesecake base I also folded in chopped up reese’s cups and butterfinger and also sprinkled some more on top at the very end. Lets just say my boyfriend is going to come home and not leave the kitchen till the cheesecake and its entirety is devoured. Thanks for the great no-bake cheesecake recipe!
Rachel, that sounds unbelievable! Anything filled with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfingers has my heart! Let me know how he likes it!
