It’s a no-bake, simple dessert perfect for peanut butter lovers looking for a quick and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Filling

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

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Grease a 9-inch pie plate. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Whip Cream: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This may take several minutes. Set the whipped cream aside.
  3. Make Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixer until smooth and free of lumps. Add the peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then continue beating until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beaters as needed.
  4. Fold Whipped Cream: Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated without deflating the airiness of the whipped cream. Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly.
  5. Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top of the pie. If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup and butterscotch syrup over the pie for extra flavor and decoration. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or freeze it to serve later. This pie is delicious whether served chilled or slightly frozen.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the pie to chill fully so the filling firms up properly.
  • You can use any variety of Oreos, but regular Oreos are recommended for the right balance of sweetness.
  • Optional syrups add sweetness and decoration, but the pie is delicious without them.
  • This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • To soften cream cheese quickly, leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
