Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients
A short ingredient list is all that’s needed to make this delicious pie.
Two ingredient Oreo crust:

- Butter – melted
Oreo crust alternative: buy a pre-made Oreo crust from the store to make this a no-bake pie option.
For the peanut butter pie filling:
- peanut butter – use creamy full-fat peanut butter
- cream cheese – this combined with the peanut butter is creamy perfection
- powdered sugar
- Cool Whip – also known as whipped topping
How to make peanut butter pie
- Make the crust – combine crushed Oreos with melted butter, press into a pie pan
- Bake the crust – it only takes 5-7 minutes to bake the Oreo crust
- Make the filling – in a bowl beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip.
- Assemble the pie – after the crust has cooled, pour the peanut butter evenly into the Oreo crust.
- Refrigerate – the pie will need at least 1 hour to set up in the refrigerator
From start to finish, you can have this pie ready to go in the refrigerator in about 22 minutes.
Serving
After the pie has had at least an hour to set-up in the refrigerator, serve. Serving suggestions:
- top each slice of peanut butter pie with additional Cool Whip or whipped cream
