This Easy Peanut Butter Pie is a creamy, no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, a smooth peanut butter and cream cheese filling, and a whipped topping. Garnished with chopped peanuts and optional chocolate and butterscotch syrup, it’s a decadent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreos (regular, not double stuffed)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • ½ cup chopped peanuts
  • ¼ cup chocolate syrup (optional)
  • ¼ cup butterscotch syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Grease a 9-inch pie plate. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter and stir until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form a crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside for several minutes to stabilize.
  3. Make the Filling: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and beaters as needed to combine thoroughly. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Top the pie with chopped peanuts for added texture and crunch. If desired, drizzle chocolate and butterscotch syrups over the top for extra flavor and decoration.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. Alternatively, freeze the pie if you prefer a firmer dessert. Serve chilled or frozen depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Use regular Oreos, not double stuffed, to ensure the crust is not overly sweet or soft.
  • The pie can be frozen for a firmer texture; just allow it to thaw slightly before serving if frozen.
  • For a nut-free option, omit the chopped peanuts and syrups, or substitute with a safe alternative.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Gently folding the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture preserves its light and airy texture.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated to enhance the flavors.
