How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cup Pie

PIN IT

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a food processor, pulse granola until finely crushed.

Add oat flour and peanut butter. Pulse until mixture sticks together when pressed.

Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.

Fold in dairy-free whipped topping gently until light and fluffy.

Stir in chopped mini peanut butter cups.

The filling should be thick, creamy, and almost mousse-like.

Step 3: Assemble

Spread filling evenly into chilled crust.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Sprinkle additional mini peanut butter cups on top.

Step 4: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight is even better.

Slice with a sharp knife for clean edges.

• Cold brew coffee

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overmix whipped topping — fold gently.
• Freeze 20 minutes before serving for extra firmness.
