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.

- 5.9 oz. instant chocolate pudding
- 3 cups milk, or as indicated on pudding package

Once again this recipe site has given me another AMAZING!! dish. I made this last night for the first time and not only is it incredibly easy, it is The tastiest dessert that has come out of my kitchen in a long time. Holy cow, my guests loved it and I sent them home with some, my kids raved about it and my dogs stared at me while i ate a second piece lol
hahaha, its so funny my dog gives me the guilt face all the time! They no when you got something good lol. Thanks so much for the great comments Jenn, I’m so happy you liked it!💖
This was great! Anyone who loves chocolate and peanut butter ought to like it. I made it today for my husband to try. He had to have two helpings because it was that good. Simple to make and delicious!
I’m so happy your husband liked it so much Loretta. My husband goes crazy for this and I can’t believe how easy it is to make. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!💕
Hello! This sounds delicious! Could I buy the Oreo crumbs instead of crushing the cookies? If yes, tell how much I’d need please.
Thank you for sharing all your hard work!
Hey Renee! I am not sure about using crumbs, because anytime I’ve made this, I process the whole cookie, which means the cream is also included in the mix, which wouldn’t be the case if you used only crumbs. I’m also not sure how much would be needed, so it may be a good idea to use Oreos if possible!
Hi there love you website
Keep up the good work
Can I use a pie dish rather than a 9×13
Hi Gail! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I THINK a pie dish would be too small, I’ve wanted to do that before myself!
This recipe is phenomenal!!! I made this for a pot luck at work and it was gone in literally 30 minutes. The ingredients have the capability of being really rich but the cool whip really lightens it up leaving all the amazing flavors but not the heaviness. This recipe so simple to make and so easy to gobble right up. It’s bookmarked for life!
I’m so happy everyone at your work liked the peanut butter pie Caitlyn!😍 I still can’t believe how easy this one is. No bake desserts are the best! Thanks so much for the great review!
This was a huge hit for Christmas. I found it easy to prepare and made it one day before Christmas. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re very welcome! I’m so happy to hear you liked it, thanks so much for the review!😃
Any chance you can omit cream cheese?
Hi Jan! I wouldn’t recommend omitting it, it’s a big part of the recipe and I haven’t tried making it without it. It would alter the flavor and consistency a lot.
Just wondering what size Oreo package you used? Or how many Oreos?
Hey Sheri! I used a standard size package, (not family size), which appears to be 14.3 ounces! 🙂
My kids would love this! I think they could help me make it too! Love it!
No bake. Peanut butter (and chocolate). Pie. Sounds like music to my ears! It looks so creamy and luscious. I can so easily pig out on this! I love your marble plate too! It’s exactly the type of thing I would be looking for at my local TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Home Goods (my faves!)
