Description

This Peanut Butter Pie is a decadently delicious, smooth, and fluffy dessert bursting with rich peanut butter flavor. It’s ultra-rich, easy to make, and requires only five simple ingredients. Perfect for peanut butter lovers, this no-bake pie sets quickly and can be chilled in the fridge or frozen for a firmer texture.

Ingredients

Pie Base

  • 1 (6 oz) Oreo pie crust, store-bought

Filling

  • 1 cup (235ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (242g) creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy cream: Pour the heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl or 4-cup liquid measuring cup. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the cream until very stiff peaks form, which will provide the light and airy texture for the pie filling.
  2. Combine peanut butter mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, without cleaning the beaters, mix together the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) on low speed until combined.
  3. Whip until fluffy: Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the peanut butter mixture for about 1 minute until it becomes light and fluffy, incorporating air for a smooth texture.
  4. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until the filling is evenly combined, ensuring you keep the mixture light and airy without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling mixture into the store-bought Oreo pie crust and spread it evenly into a smooth layer.
  6. Chill the pie: Freeze the pie for 1 hour for a firmer set, or refrigerate for 4 hours if you prefer a softer texture.
  7. Decorate and serve: Once chilled, decorate the pie with your favorite toppings if desired, slice, and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using a store-bought Oreo crust simplifies preparation and adds a complementary chocolate flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • This pie can be frozen for longer storage; thaw slightly before slicing.
  • Optional vanilla extract enhances the flavor but can be omitted if not available.
  • Topping suggestions include chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of melted chocolate peanut butter.
