Chocolate and Peanut Butter Are A Perfect Pair
Lots of rich PB flavor is nestled in a chocolate crust for a really delicious dessert.

- It uses simple ingredients you likely have on hand.
- Swap the Oreo crust for graham cracker crust, or use another variety of cookies.
Ingredients For Peanut Butter Pie
- Peanut Butter – I like creamy peanut butter (like Jif) but you can use crunchy as well. Avoid using ‘natural’ peanut butter, as it doesn’t blend as smoothly.
- Cream Cheese – Use a block of room-temperature cream cheese. Full fat is best for richness and texture, but low fat can be used for a lighter version.
- Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is folded in for a fluffy texture. Replace it with 2 cups of prepared whipped topping (like cook whip).
- Powdered Sugar – Adds sweetness and mixes in smoothly.
- Crust – Oreo cookies, including the filling, are pulsed into crumbs for the crust. You can substitute with a store-bought graham crust or Nutter Butters.
How to Make Peanut Butter Pie
Baked pies have their place, but sometimes a simple pie is the perfect bite! Simply prep, mix, and chill pie is all you need!
- Make pie crust and chill (per recipe below).
- With a hand mixer or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until fluffy. Fold whipped cream.
- Spread the peanut butter pie filling into the crust and chill.
Garnish with chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or candy like Reese’s pieces or mini peanut butter cups, a drizzle of wicked hot fudge sauce, or peanut butter frosting!
