  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Description

A rich, creamy no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie that saves busy evenings. Ready in just 10 minutes of prep with pantry staples like Oreos, peanut butter, and Cool Whip.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3035 Oreos (about 1 package)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese (full fat, softened)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (for topping)
  • Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a rolling pin in a zip-top bag.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip to keep the filling light.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly.
  7. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  8. Melt the chocolate chips and 1 tbsp peanut butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the chilled pie.
  10. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts if desired and return to the fridge for 15 minutes to set the topping.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese and standard creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Do not skip the chill time as the filling needs time to set. For clean slices, dip a knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
