Peanut Butter Pie
This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie has been my go-to dessert recipe for years, it’s SO easy to make and everyone always loves it. The ingredients are simple and every layer is irresistible! It’s really fun to get creative with topping ideas for this, but you can’t go wrong with chocolate shavings. 😉 Here’s how it’s made:
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Combine melted butter and crushed Oreos. Spread them on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish and press down to form a crust.
Beat together softened cream cheese, peanut butter, 1/2 of the Cool Whip, and powdered sugar until well combined. Spread it over the Oreo crust.
Combine cold milk and Instant pudding and prepare according to package instructions. Spread over the whipped peanut butter layer once set. Top with remaining Cool Whip and chill for 1 hour prior to serving. (You can also serve it the next day.)
Make-Ahead Method
- This recipe can be made 1 day ahead of time. I wouldn’t make it sooner than that, as the pudding may start to give off some liquid.
Pro Tips
- To make this without peanut butter, try my Oreo Delight recipe.
- You can always wait and add a dollop of Cool Whip onto the slices right before serving if the top of the casserole dish is getting full.
- Additional topping options over the Cool Whip include crumbled Oreos, shaved chocolate, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, or strawberries.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Absolutely love this recipe. So yummy!!
Excellent! I’m so happy to hear that Sue, I love it too!!
Sounds like a great recipe and I’m going to make for a pot luck. I was thinking of adding an additional layer. I wondered if you have ever tried adding a layer of strawberry or raspberry perserves? Hoping it will be like having a PB&J sandwich, with chocolate of course.
Hi Lorna!! While I haven’t tried adding that before, I think it would be an absolutely amazing addition, I can almost taste it now! A light later of strawberry or raspberry preserves for sure! I saw go for it, I’d love to know what you think if you try it! 🙂
