A quick and easy no-bake peanut butter pie with a smooth, creamy filling and a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. Perfect for a fuss-free, indulgent dessert that requires no oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreos or chocolate graham crackers, finely crushed)
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (smooth)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream, chilled

Instructions

  1. Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs (about 1 ½ cups or 150g).
  2. Combine the cookie crumbs with 5 tablespoons (70g) melted unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar if using. Mix until evenly coated and crumbly like wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 8 oz (225g) softened cream cheese with 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream to medium peaks.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, folding carefully to keep the filling light and airy.
  8. Spoon the peanut butter filling over the chilled chocolate crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set.
  10. Optional: Garnish with chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of melted chocolate before serving.

Notes

Use smooth peanut butter for the best texture. Chill the crust well to prevent sogginess. Whip cream to medium peaks to avoid grainy texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream accordingly. Gluten-free chocolate cookies can be used for a gluten-free crust.
