This no-bake peanut butter pie is creamy, delicious, and made from scratch! A light and fluffy peanut butter cream cheese filling nestled in a crunchy Oreo cookie crust.
I love peanut butter recipes like these soft peanut butter cookies and chocolate peanut butter banana bread. Although I have to admit no-bake peanut butter desserts are my absolute favorite!
Smooth And Silky Peanut Butter Pie
- Requires only 7 ingredients.
- Melts in your mouth.
- Has just the right amount of sweetness.
- Super easy to make!
Ingredient Notes
Peanut Butter – Use your favorite peanut butter. Smooth or chunky will work for this recipe.
Cream Cheese – Softened at room temperature. Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese.
Heavy Whipping Cream – Don’t use milk or half and half, it won’t work. You’ll need heavy whipping cream.
Oreo Cookies – If you don’t have Oreos on hand, feel free to use crushed graham crackers or a store-bought oreo pie crust instead.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Start by preparing the Oreo cookie pie crust, Place 24 oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until they are fine crumbs. Stream in the butter while pulsing.
- Press the oreo mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and then place it in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream to a large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place the cream cheese into a large bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar until mixed in. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, mix until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped cream gently with a rubber spatula until there are no streaks left.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the Oreo crust and smooth out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Top it off with whipped cream and oreo crumbs, if desired, and enjoy!
Top Tips
- Although any cream cheese will work, I highly recommend using Philadelphia cream cheese because it’s in my opinion the best cream cheese for desserts.
- If you don’t have whipped cream, top it off with crushed salted peanuts instead.
- Use good quality peanut butter!
- Let the peanut butter pie sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before slicing into it so the oreo crust softens a bit.
Can I Make This Without A Food Processor?
Yes, if you don’t have a food processor simply place the oreo cookies in a plastic zippered bag, and beat it with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.
Can I Make This Without An Electric Mixer?
Yes, you can but you will need to mix the heavy whipping cream with a handheld whisk vigorously for a few minutes.
Storage
This pie stays fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge.
