Whether you’re hosting a party, craving something sweet at the end of a busy weekday, or need a last-minute treat, this pie delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Topped with chopped peanut butter cups and drizzled chocolate, it looks as good as it tastes.


What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?

For best results, stick with creamy peanut butter that’s not too oily or gritty. Brands like Jif or Skippy work great here. Natural peanut butters can sometimes separate and affect the texture of the filling, so it’s best to avoid those unless fully emulsified.


Ingredients for the Simple No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

  • Oreo cookie crust: A chocolate cookie base adds crunch and pairs beautifully with the peanut butter.
  • Creamy peanut butter: The star of the show—smooth, rich, and packed with flavor.
  • Cream cheese: Adds tang and stability to the creamy filling.
  • Powdered sugar: Sweetens and thickens the mixture just right.
  • Whipped topping (like Cool Whip): Brings lightness and fluff to the pie’s texture.
  • Mini peanut butter cups: Chopped and scattered on top for flavor and flair.
  • Chocolate and peanut butter drizzle: Ties all the flavors together and gives a stunning finish.

How To Make the Simple No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Use a pre-made Oreo cookie crust or make your own by crushing Oreo cookies and mixing them with melted butter. Press into a pie dish and chill.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Spread the peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 4: Decorate

Chop mini peanut butter cups and sprinkle them generously over the top. Drizzle with melted chocolate and a little warmed peanut butter for that gorgeous finishing touch.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Place the pie in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until set. Slice and enjoy!


Serving and Storing Your Peanut Butter Pie

This pie is best served chilled straight from the fridge. The texture holds beautifully when cold, making each slice clean and creamy. If you’re making it ahead for an event, it can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
