Why You'll Love This Recipe

Easy- This recipe is incredibly easy to make, and the elements in this Peanut Butter Oreo Pie take absolutely no time to put together. To make it even easier, you could purchase store-bought Oreo crust and cool whip instead of making your own.

No-Bake- Although the crust is baked for less than 10 minutes, you could skip that step and make this a true no-bake recipe. Instead freeze the crust for 15-20 minutes while you make the filling.

Ingredients

Oreos- This recipe uses 24 Oreo cookies. You could even use gluten-free and it will work.
Butter- Unsalted butter, but since this recipe doesn't contain any salt, you could use salted butter if you like.
Cream cheese- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature and it's a full-fat block of cheese.
Peanut Butter- I use creamy Skippy peanut butter. You can use any brand, but make sure it's conventional and not natural, otherwise you could end up with a bit of an oily mess and a less structured pie.
Powdered sugar- It's best to use powdered sugar instead of granulated, as it will blend better into the filling.
Heavy whipping cream- Cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream beats up much better and creates better stiff peaks. Make sure it's in the fridge until you're ready to use it. You can even place the the bowl and beater/whisk attachments in the freezer for about 15 minutes before you're ready to whip it up.

See recipe card for quantities.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Crust

Prep- Pre-heat the oven

Crush- Using a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until crushed, then add the melted butter.

Press- Pour crushed Oreo cookies into the pie dish and press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. You can use a spoon, offset spatula, or flat measuring cup to create a smooth, flat bottom and sides. Don’t press too hard. Just until it’s compact.

Hint: It helps to use a flat measuring cup to press the crust down into the tart pan and up the sides to create a smooth tart crust.

Bake- Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Make the Filling

Beat- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter and beat together using a hand or stand mixer with a beater attachment. Beat for a few minutes until completely smooth.

Whip- In a separate bowl, add heavy whipping cream and whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment and beat on low speed, then gradually incase until stiff peaks form.

Hint: When whipping the heavy cream, make sure to bring it to stiff peaks, otherwise the pie may weep and won't set properly.

Combine- Using a spatula, fold the whipped cream a little at a time into the peanut butter filling until completely combined.

Chill- Place the pie in the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.

Top- Add whatever toppings you like, slice, and enjoy.

Substitutions & Variations

Cookies- Instead of Oreos, you could use chocolate graham crackers or any other chocolate cookie. You could even switch it up and make the crust with regular graham crackers or Biscoff Cookies.

Store-bought crust- If you don't want to make your own crust, just buy one from the grocery store, and make the rest of the pie as instructed.

Pie crust- If you're feeling ambitious, you could try a pie crust instead.

Cool whip- You could buy cool whip instead of making your own. It will taste a little different.

Ganache- You could add a chocolate ganache to the top of the pie once chilled.

Mix-ins- Add in some chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut Butter Chips, or even Peanuts directly into the filling.

Storage

Refrigerator- Store covered Peanut Butter Oreo Pie in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Freezer- You could freeze by wrapping well, then freezing for up to 1 month.

Pro Tips

Oreo Cookies: Use a food processor to finely crush the cookies. If you don't have a food processor, use a rolling pin and add the cookies to a ziploc bag and crush them.
Use measuring cup: It helps to use a flat measuring cup to press the crust down into the pie pan and up the sides to create a smooth pie crust.
Chill: Make sure the heavy cream is chilled, and it helps to chill the bowl and the beaters before you start whipping. The heavy cream needs to come to stiff peaks.
Cream cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is full fat and softened to room temperature before you start.
Chill Crust: Instead of baking, you can freeze the crust for 20 minutes in the freezer while you make the filling.
