A no-bake, creamy peanut butter pie with a crunchy Oreo cookie crust that is quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed finely
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or extra crushed Oreos

Instructions

  1. Prepping the Oreo Crust:
  2. 1. Place 24 Oreo cookies (with filling) in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush cookies in a sealed bag with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  3. 2. Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl and pour in 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  4. 3. Stir until all crumbs are moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  5. 4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust layer.
  6. 5. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  7. Making the Peanut Butter Filling:
  8. 1. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and combined.
  9. 2. Add 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then mix again until fully incorporated and silky.
  10. 3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer (usually 3-4 minutes).
  11. 4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold carefully to keep the filling light and airy, stopping when fully blended.
  12. Assembling and Chilling:
  13. 1. Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  14. 2. Add optional toppings like chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips if desired.
  15. 3. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth texture. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks carefully to avoid graininess. Chill crust before filling to prevent crumbliness. For clean slices, dip knife in hot water and dry between cuts. Can be made dairy-free or gluten-free with substitutions.
