Because easy Oreo crust + easy peanut butter filling + no bake = AWESOME. I feel like I should be sharing this pie in the summer (and I will certainly make a lot of noise about this during the warmer months). But this is such an easy to make yet decadent dessert that I pull it out all year round. And it is just as delicious as this Banana Cream Pie and Bourbon Buttermilk Pie. The great news is that you can make this No Bake Peanut Butter pie the night before and just pull it out of the fridge as needed. Peeps, you can’t beat an easy crowd-pleasing dessert that requires no baking at all and only needs 6 ingredients. You can also make 2 or 3 at a time for big crowds.
How To Make Peanut Butter Pie
The beauty of this Peanut Butter Pie is that it is made with everyday pantry staples aka Oreos, butter, cream cheese, icing sugar and whipping cream. The first step the Oreo pie crust, second step the filling, thirds step topping galore.
Make the Oreo Crust
Of course, you can by some store-bought Oreo Cookie Crusts or other types of cookie crust if you prefer, but it is so easy to make your own. Seriously you should have an Oreo cookie crust recipe up your sleeve which means that you can whip up any kind of no bake pie or baked pie at any time you want. Decadent dessert, here you come…. I used the chocolate Oreo cookie flavour for this recipe but feel free to use Oreo cookie flavour, peanut butter Oreos, strawberry cheesecake Oreos, mint Oreos etc that you prefer. You need only 2 ingredients for this – Oreos and melted butter. That is it. You can add some flavourings to it if you prefer but seriously this Oreo pie crust recipe is good as is. Step 1. Finely crush the Oreos in a food processor, or in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin. Finer crushed cookies mean a crust that sticks better.
Step 2. Add the crushed Oreos into a bowl along with the melted butter and mix.
Step 3. Transfer the mixture into a 23cm / 9 inch pie dish and press into the bottom and sides of a dish.
Step 4. For the No Bake Pie Crust – Freeze crust for 15 mins or refrigerate for at least 30 mins until it is set. Optional For a baked pie crust – Bake at 180C / 350F / gas 4 for 10 mins. This will give you a crunchier crust. Let it cool before you continue with your recipe
Make the Peanut Butter Pie Filling
Oh, and then there is the easy peasy dreamy decadent No Bake Peanut Butter Pie filling. Step 1. Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 2. Add cream to another bowl plus the remaining 1 tbsp of icing sugar and whip till it forms stiff peaks.
Step 3. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mix until combined and pour this into the prepared Oreo pie crust.
Step 4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight or freeze for 1 hr.
Step 5. Then top with extra crushed Oreos, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce if using and serve.
Tips For The Perfect No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
You can make the crust ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge. Feel free to use a shop bought Oreo pie crust (or any other sweet pie crust) instead. It is important to let the pie chill for at least 6hr in the fridge before serving. I usually make it the day before I need it and refrigerate overnight. If you are short on time then freeze it for one hour. This Peanut Butter Pie is very rich, so please cut smaller servings. Other toppings for this include peanut butter cookies, Reese peanut butter cups and any chocolate of your choice. If you have peanut allergies then you can use speculoos spread instead.
