Make this easy no bake peanut butter pie for a quick dessert. It features a rich, creamy peanut butter filling and a crunchy chocolate Oreo crust. This recipe requires no oven and is perfect for potlucks or summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (or 2 cups homemade whipped cream)
  • Optional topping: Chocolate syrup or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. You need about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  2. Mix the crust: Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until the crumbs are moistened.
  3. Press the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Fold in topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the filling to remain fluffy.
  6. Fill the pie: Spoon the creamy peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm. For best results, chill overnight. This is a crucial step for a firm, easy-to-slice pie.
  8. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with chocolate syrup or chopped peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and serve this indulgent sweet treat cold.

Notes

  • If you prefer a graham cracker crust dessert, substitute 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs for the Oreo crumbs and use 1/4 cup of melted butter instead of 6 tablespoons.
  • For an extra rich flavor, use 1/2 cup of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sour cream in the filling instead of all cream cheese.
  • This make ahead dessert sets up best when chilled for a full 6 hours.
