Description
Let’s be honest—some desserts are simply in a league of their own. And if you’re a devout fan of the glorious combination of peanut butter and chocolate, then this Peanut Butter Cup Pie with Oreo Crust is about to become your new obsession. Forget turning on your oven; this is the ultimate no-bake indulgence, a dessert that requires patience (waiting for it to chill!) but minimal actual effort.
Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust:
24 Oreo cookies (regular, not double-stuffed)
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural style)
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub whipped topping, thawed)
For the Topping:
1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
6–8 mini peanut butter cups, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: crushed peanuts or extra cookie crumbs
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor (or place in a bag and crush with a rolling pin).
Mix crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Chill in the fridge (or freeze 10–15 minutes) while making the filling.
2. Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined and fluffy.
Spread filling evenly into the chilled crust.
Refrigerate while preparing the topping.
3. Make the Chocolate Ganache
Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream just until steaming (don’t boil).
Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 1 minute.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Let cool slightly, then pour over the peanut butter layer, spreading evenly.
4. Chill & Garnish
Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.
Top with chopped peanut butter cups, crushed peanuts, or cookie crumbs before serving.
