No-Bake SunButter Cream Pie
June 27, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under pie, sunbutter
Summer makes me lazy. That pile of dishes from dinner? Eh, I’ll get to it tomorrow. The hamper full of laundry? It’ll get done…eventually. Likewise, things that take 15 steps in the kitchen that I’m normally willing to conquer head-first just seem too much work for me right now, when I’d much rather sit on the couch and eat ice cream. In fact, my laziness has driven me to create a few desserts that don’t require much effort at all, and one of them is this creamy SunButter pie. I’ve been eager to try the new no-stir SunButter variety ever since it came out, but the response to my letter to Wegmans asking them to carry it was no. You can however purchase it from Amazon in 3 packs, which is what I did, and it goes just perfectly in this pie. Of course, you can always substitute peanut butter or almond butter if you don’t have allergies!
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed
- 5 Tbsp butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 cup creamy SunButter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
To make the crust, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Press into a 9″ pie pan and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
To make the filling, first beat the whipping cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar.
Beat in the SunButter until well-combined.
Pour the filling into the crust and smooth with a rubber spatula.
Chill 2-3 hours or until set before serving.

This looks so simple and so delicious. Exactly how I like my summer desserts!

All I have to say is YUM. Nutella, Peanut Butter, Sun Butter – it would all be delicious.

Yum! I like the not having to turn the oven on deliciousness of it.

Yum!! Love this pie… I am a fan of no-bake in the summer! I’m thinking this would be fabulous with some Nutella, too
And caramel!

Can you believe I’ve never heard of SunButter until today? (of course, my husband has whatever the opposite of a peanut allergy is – he eats jars of Jif like they’re going out of style).

I am so with you on summer laziness! Especially when it comes to the kitchen; all I want to do is enjoy the nice weather and whip up anything that’s quick. This is a great recipe for those hot days!

Wow! I am so impresed with this!! I wouldn’t have even thought to try a no bake pie… I love it! Definately planning to try it with peanut butter and a bit of shaved chocolate on top

Oh my gosh – I’m new to sunbutter and can only imagine how delicious this would be!

What a fantastic treat and peanut-free!

Okay, now I rally have to try Sunbutter!
June 28th, 2011 at 9:31 am
I keep hearing about sun butter, now I must give it a try! Looks fabulous!
June 28th, 2011 at 9:45 am
It looks so creamy and delicious! I’ve never heard of sun butter. I’ll have to check and see if my grocery carries it.
June 28th, 2011 at 9:57 am
I have wanted to try sunbutter … this is a perfect reason to do it now.
June 28th, 2011 at 11:21 am
do you have any ideas for subbing the crust with something else to make it low carb? Thanks!
June 28th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
I love this! I also just bought a new jar of SunButter. Since my son and I are allergic to peanuts, this would be a great treat…I’m feeling the need for some chocolate on top
Can’t wait to give it a try!

Shelley – I’d suggest spooning the filling into a glass, and serving it like a mousse. You could also layer it with chocolate and/or whipped cream. Good luck!
June 28th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
This looks amazing — I’ve just added it to my holiday weekend menu! Thanks!
June 28th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Oh my friends would love this, and so easy!

Hi, Tracy ~
Yet another winner from your kitchen. And this one does not require oven heat. Perfect! I’m making it this evening for a houseful of hungry pre-teen soccer players. I may “decorate” with raspberries. Thanks for the continued inspiration.

I am doing everything possible not to turn on the oven right now, so this pie is definitely calling my name.
