Ingredients

1 package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream (chilled)
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Make the Oreo Crust: Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or pulsing them in a food processor. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish, forming the crust. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat again until fully combined.
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the whipped topping until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, slice the pie and serve. You can optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra flavor.

Variations

FAQs

Can I use a store-bought Oreo crust for this recipe?

Is it possible to use smooth peanut butter instead of creamy?

Can I use natural peanut butter for this pie?

Can I substitute the cream cheese?

Yes, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a slightly lighter version of the pie. The flavor will be a little different, but it will still be delicious.

Can I make this pie without a mixer?

It is possible to make this pie without a mixer, though it will take a bit more effort. You’ll need to whisk the peanut butter and cream cheese together by hand until smooth, then carefully fold in the whipped cream.

Can I add a topping to the pie?
