This best ever dessert is as good as my Chessman banana pudding, no bake chocolate lasagna, strawberries and cream Swiss roll, mini pecan pies and my old fashioned peach cobbler.

Chocolate peanut butter pie no bake
Is there anything better than a classic homemade fluffy peanut butter pie?
I first tried this at a Thanksgiving dinner and one bite made me instantly forget about all the other desserts I was dreaming of. It’s that good!!!
If this bakeless Reese’s peanut butter cup pie was not tempting and delicious enough it pairs with a buttery chocolate Oreo crust. Then deliciously drizzled with a chocolate sauce and a melted peanut butter garnish.
This must-try dessert will be on repeat and is much loved served at potlucks, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas or my favorite excuse as a Sunday dinner dessert.

Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- Oreo Cookie Crumbs – 2 cups
- Butter – melted
Peanut Butter Filling
- Cream Cheese – 16 ounces, I used Philadelphia cream cheese softened at room temperature
- Powdered Sugar
- Creamy Peanut Butter – creamy peanut butter is the best to use like a Gif or Skippy
- Vanilla Extract – pure vanilla extract provides the best flavor but use what you have
- Heaving Whipping Cream
Topping or Garnish (is optional but makes it more memorable)
- Reese Peanut Butter Cups – cut into pieces placed on top
- Chocolate Sauce – drizzled on top
- Melted Peanut Butter – drizzled on top
Variations: Sometime I like to serve it without any toppings. For even more peanut butter flavor you can add some peanut butter chips, crushed peanuts and Reese pieces to the topping. Drizzle some melted peanut butter on top with or without the chocolate sauce depending on your tastes.
How to make peanut butter pie recipe
STEP ONE – In a small bowl combine the oreo crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated. Press the crumbs into a 9in pie dish along the bottom and sides. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until set.
STEP TWO – In a large mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and vanilla extract then set aside.
STEP THREE – In a small mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, careful not to over whip it.
STEP FOUR – Carefully fold the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
STEP FIVE- Pour the filling into the crust in an even layer. Refrigerate at least four hours to firm up then serve.
Optional Topping
Decorate with chopped peanut butter cups, a drizzle of chocolate sauce and melted peanut butter. (microwave 10 seconds) Enjoy!
Sandra’s Top Tips
- If you are going to use a natural peanut butter make sure to stir it extremely well so it does not separate in the pie
- If you do not want to whip or use the heavy cream you can use store bought cool whip, but leave out the powdered sugar as the pie will be too sweet
- Make sure to chill for at least 4 hours before serving
- I like to make it ahead of time the day before to chill overnight in the fridge
- If serving without the toppings you can serve it with some whipped cream or cool whip on top or on the side with chocolate shavings
Storage instructions
Store covered with wrap, foil or using an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can freeze it for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
