This peanut butter pie is the perfect solution to my craving for a fast, easy, and oven-free dessert! Don’t miss my other no-bake desserts, including Orange Ice Cream, Banana Pudding, and Chocolate Cream Pie.

What we LOVE about Peanut Butter Pie:

• 20 Min Prep:  You can whip this homemade Peanut Butter Pie recipe together in just a few minutes.  Make it in the morning and stick it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• No Bake: Leave the oven off and save your house from heating up in the summer months.
• That Flavor Combo: You can never go wrong with peanut butter and Oreo’s.

How to make Peanut Butter Pie:

Make Oreo Crust: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into crumbs. Stir in the melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9.5-inch pie plate, covering the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Refrigerate crust for 1 hour (or freeze for 20-30 minutes) before adding filling.

Make Filling: Beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix well for a few minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Add heavy cream to a separate mixing bowl and beat with mixers until stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined.

Pour Filling Into Crust: Pour the creamy filling into the cooled Oreo crust. Cover gently with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, before serving.

Serve: If desired, serve this easy no-bake Peanut Butter Pie with additional whipped cream on top, sprinkled with crushed chocolate, chocolate curls, or peanut butter candy (butterfingers, Reese’s pieces, Reese’s chocolate etc).

Make Ahead And Freezing Instructions:

Make Ahead Instructions: You can make chocolate peanut butter pie 1-2 days in advance, stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Top with whipped cream just before serving.

Freezing Instructions: Make the pie in a freezer safe dish and wrap it well with plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. Freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Recipe Variations:

• Crust: Try using Nutter butter cookies for the crust, a regular graham cracker crust or chocolate graham cracker crust.
• Vegan Peanut Butter Pie: Use vegan cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese, and make vegan whipping cream by blending ½ cup + 2 tablespoons of silken tofu with ½ cup + 2  tablespoons of soy milk in a blender until well combined. Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla and stir it into the peanut butter in step 2 of the filling.
