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.

- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5.9 oz. instant chocolate pudding
- 3 cups milk, or as indicated on pudding package
Instructions
- Set about 5 aside if you’d like to top yours with crumbled Oreos.

- Spread the Oreo mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan and press down to form a firm crust.

- Decorate the top with crumbled Oreos or chocolate shavings.
- Best if chilled for a couple of hours prior to serving.
This recipe is sooo delicious. It’s light and sweet (but not too sweet) and it is a little salty from the peanut butter. Perfect combination for your palate.
I’m so happy to hear that Kathryn! This is *always* my go-to dessert recipe for any occasion, I just love it! Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it! -Stephanie
Excellent recipe! Made it for the first time this Easter and it was a huge hit! Such a big hit that I have been asked by my husband and son to make it again this weekend! I will happily oblige because I can’t wait to have it again, too!
Awesome!!!! I’m so happy you all enjoyed it! Thanks so much for giving it a try! Enjoy it again your weekend!
Would I be able to use homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip in this recipe?
Hi Lauren! I am sure that would be just fine!! Enjoy!!
It might be a strange question, but, can you make this without peanut butter?
Hi Laura! Sure! You can use this recipe for a version without Peanut Butter! 🙂
Haven’t tried it yet!!…it’s in the fridge chilling …it’s already tasty just cleaning out the mixing bowls with a spoon…looking forward to slicing it snd having some….
I used a ready made oreo cookie pie crust..
Way too much leftover pudding….what a problem…hahaha….eat the leftovers out of the bowl…
Chocolate n peanut butter..mmm what a tasty combination..
I can’t wait for you to try it Mabel, nice work with the ready made Oreo pie crust! Enjoy!
Hi! Weird question 🙋🏽♀️ but do I need to thaw the cool whip first? Like it suggests on the packaging.
Hi Rachel!! Yes, you’ll want to thaw it!
This was a fantastic dessert for my husband’s office. They loved it! It was pretty easy too!
I’m so happy it was such a hit with your husband’s office Sharon! Thanks for the great review!🩷
This hit the spot. I was craving a peanut butter pie but wanted to use a 9×13, because, ya know how that goes. I didn’t think a pie size would do. Lol
I had most of the ingredients so that made it easier. But I did have to pick up the oreo’s. I got the biggest family size which has 48, the original has 36, so I had some left over for dunking in my coffee in the morning. Now to text my kids and grandkids and tell them to come over and help me eat this. 😋
I can’t wait for the grandkids to try, I think they’re gonna be very happy you contacted them! I never heard of dipping oreos in coffee, I’m very curious now! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!💗
Hi, i made this and was so excited because it looked so good! and it WAS. LOL anyway, the only thing that threw me was 1) the Oreos come in two sizes, regular and Family size. I ended up getting the family size, i guess that was ok. All in all it was good. Yes, also 3/4 stick butter, had to think about that for a sec! lol
Hi Maura, any variety of Oreos works! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, this is definitely one of my favs!
Easy and delicious! Well worth trying.
A new favorite amongst my entire family.
Yayyy! Thanks so much Tina, I’m so happy your whole family liked it!💗
What is 3/4 stick in tablespoons?
Hi Tina, 6 tablespoons is equal to 3/4 stick.
