    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

    1. 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.
    2. Press the oreo mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and then place it in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
    3. Add the heavy cream to a large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix.
    4. 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.
    5. Fold in the whipped cream gently with a rubber spatula until there are no streaks left.
    6. 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.
