A fun, no-bake pie combining peanut butter, cereal, and strawberry preserves, topped with ice cream for a sweet, crunchy treat perfect for parties and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter and corn syrup; blend well.
- Stir in cereal until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly around the sides and bottom of a 9-inch pie pan using a lightly buttered spatula.
- Chill the crust for 10 minutes before filling.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using natural peanut butter instead of regular, or add a pinch of salt to enhance the taste. If you prefer a different fruit, swap strawberry preserves for raspberry or blueberry. For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts to the cereal mixture. This recipe is reminiscent of American recipes that blend sweet and savory, like Brownie Fruit Pizza.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit on the side, such as sliced strawberries or bananas. This dessert is perfect for parties or family gatherings, providing a fun twist on classic flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To reheat, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften the ice cream slightly, making it easier to slice and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cereal?
Absolutely! While crisp rice cereal provides a light and crunchy base, you can substitute it with granola or even crushed graham crackers for a different texture and flavor. Just ensure the substitute holds together well when mixed with the peanut butter and corn syrup.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply use certified gluten-free crisp rice cereal. Always check the labels of your other ingredients, like the peanut butter and preserves, to ensure they are also gluten-free. This way, everyone can enjoy this delicious treat without worry.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie crust in advance and fill it with ice cream just before serving. The crust can be made and chilled a day ahead. Just keep it covered in the fridge, and fill with softened ice cream shortly before your guests arrive for the best texture and flavor.
