This Easy Peanut Butter Pie is a luscious and creamy dessert featuring a rich peanut butter filling atop a crunchy Oreo crust. Perfect for peanut butter lovers, it combines smooth cream cheese, whipped cream, and the sweet, nutty flavor of peanut butter into a no-bake pie that’s simple to prepare and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 24 Oreos
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipping cream)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for peanut butter mixture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • Chopped peanuts, for garnish
  • Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside the whipped cream for folding later.
  3. Make the peanut butter filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the creamy peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is smooth.
  4. Combine with whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in batches. Use a spatula to fold carefully until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, maintaining the airy texture.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Top with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor. If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for extra richness.
  6. Chill the pie: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly. Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a crunchier crust, you can toast the Oreo crumbs slightly before mixing with butter.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; chunky peanut butter may alter the texture.
  • This pie is best served within 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese, whipping cream, and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • To save time, you can prepare the crust and filling the day before and assemble when ready.
