Learn how to make delicious Peanut Butter Pie with Oreo Crust. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 24 Oreo cookies (for the crust; feel free to use double-stuffed for extra creaminess)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or classic, based on your preference)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips for garnish

If you’re looking to swap out some ingredients, I’ve found that almond butter works well for a twist on the classic peanut flavor. You can also substitute the Oreo crust with graham crackers if Oreos aren’t your thing, though that changes the flavor profile quite a bit. For a dairy-free version, coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives can work, but the texture might be slightly different.

Instructions

  1. Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. I use a food processor for this, but placing them in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin works just as well. This step always brings back memories of my grandmother showing me how to get every last crumb just right.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. This will help the crust hold together perfectly.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. I find using the bottom of a glass helps to get an even, compact crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. This is where the magic happens—watching these two ingredients come together reminds me why I fell in love with cooking in the first place.
  5. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat again until fully incorporated. The filling should be rich and slightly sweet but balanced.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step requires patience, but I promise it’s worth it for that fluffy, airy texture.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful to keep it light and airy. This creates the silky texture that makes every bite feel like a dream.
  8. Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This is the hardest part for me—waiting! But the pie sets beautifully and the flavors meld into something truly special.
  10. Before serving, garnish with chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips if desired. I love this final touch because it adds a little crunch and visual appeal that makes the pie feel festive.
