Looking for The Best Peanut Butter Pie Recipe? Look no further. If you like peanut butter as much as we do in this house, you are going to adore this recipe for classic Peanut Butter Pie made with an Oreo cookie crust. It’s decadent, loaded with peanut butter and is sure to satisfy your craving for something sweet! To make it even more decadent, I decided to top it my recipe for Easy Homemade Hot Fudge to create this awesome recipe for Peanut Butter Pie.
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.
