How about an easy pie?This No Bake Peanut Butter Cup Pie is creamy, fun and loved by all.

Hello Summer!

We are right in the thick of it at our house - softball has ended, baseball is on it's last leg and our vacations are upon us! We leave for Florida in a few days and we still have our annual Summer lake trip to Okoboji to look forward to in mid-August.

Lots of Summering left for us.

You know what else Summer is about? Fun desserts that require NO oven.

That is why I love this pie!

There is no heating up your kitchen in the warm weather, yet you still get to eat PIE. This one could not be more simple - just 6 ingredients {heck, one is just vanilla extract} so there is no need to make a huge list for the grocery store.

And this pie involves peanut butter AND chocolate. I'm of the notion that peanut butter and chocolate pair well together {I do not understand those that don't like it} so if you're with me, then you'll love this sweet dessert.

No bake pies are fun because they more often than not involve cream cheese, sugar and whipped topping {in this case I went the store bought Cool Whip route for ease}. Those three foods make for creamy pies!

The addition of peanut butter only enhances the creaminess.

And of course I chopped up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for good measure and folded them into the pie filling as well. Why not, right?

With the kids home during the Summer, I'm often photographing my dishes while they are around and for the most part they stay out of my hair.

BUT NOT WHEN IT INVOLVES PIE.

I had kids hovering in my light the whole time and as soon as I was done they were fighting over this slice that I cut for the photos. They tore into it with three forks and devoured it lightning quick. They already had a hard time waiting the 4 hours in the fridge for it to firm up, so I gave in.

I chalked it up to a lesson in patience.

Whose putting this no bake pie on their agenda this Summer?

It better be all of you!

  I make this same pie without peanut butter cups. It’s so rich, you don’t need the candy. It also freezes well if you want to make ahead.
