Yes, a no bake pie is easy to freeze. This is a great pie to prepare ahead of time and then top with your favorite toppings.

Since the peanut butter pie has whipped topping as one of its ingredients, it will need to be refrigerator. It will last about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Then the crust will begin to get a little soggy.
