No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

This is one of my favorite desserts to make. There is no baking required for this recipe which is even a bigger plus. You get a delicious payoff, and the pie takes only 5 minutes to put together. For a even richer flavor, top each slice with some whipped cream.  A small slice is definitely plenty to satisfy even the biggest peanut butter lover.
