How to Make Peanut Butter Pie with Oreo Crust

The crust of this Peanut Butter Pie is made very simply with just Oreo cookies and melted butter pressed into a pie plate. I like to use my food processor to crumble the cookies into a fine crumb, but you could also place the Oreos in a large ziplock bag and use something heavy like a rolling pin to crush them. If you have a food processor, definitely use it. The finer the crumb, the better.Alternatively, the grocery store typically sells pre-made Oreo cookie pie crusts that you could use as well.If you are looking for a peanut butter pie recipe that’s no-bake, opt for the pre-made crust from the store so that the recipe is entirely no-bake.

Peanut Butter Pie Filling

The most important part of this Peanut Butter Pie is the filling, of course! What I love about this Peanut Butter Fudge Pie is that it comes together SO quick and it’s perfect for summer. The filling consists of creamy peanut butter, cream cheese, Cool Whip, and a little powdered sugar. That’s it!

From start to finish, you can have this pie ready to go in about 22 minutes. Of course, it’ll need to hang out in the fridge for a bit but the hands-on time is only about 20 minutes which is hard to beat. If you don’t want to make my recipe for Easy Homemade Hot Fudge, you can just buy a jar of fudge from the grocery store. Don’t drizzle the pie with the hot fudge until you’re ready to serve it.

  5. Add in powdered sugar and mix well.
  6. Beat in Cool Whip and mix until the pie filling is light and fluffy.
  7. Spread the filling into the Oreo crust that has completely cooled. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. Right before serving, heat the fudge ice cream topping according to the directions on the jar and drizzle a spoonful over each piece of pie.
