Ingredients For Peanut Butter Pie

  • Peanut Butter – I prefer creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) but crunchy will also work. Avoid using ‘natural’ peanut butter as it doesn’t blend as smoothly.
  • Cream Cheese – Use a block of room temperature cream cheese. Full-fat is best for richness and texture, but low-fat can be used for a lighter version.
  • Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is folded in for a fluffy texture, you can replace it with 2 cups of prepared whipped topping however the pie will be a bit sweeter.
  • Powdered Sugar – Adds sweetness and mixes in smoothly.
  • Crust – Oreo cookies, including the filling, are pulsed into crumbs for the crust. You can substitute a graham crust, Nilla wafers, or Nutter Butters.

How to Make Peanut Butter Pie

Baked pies have their place, but sometimes the simplicity of a prep, mix, and chill pie is all you need!

  1. Make pie crust and chill (per recipe below).
  2. With a hand mixer or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until fluffy. Fold whipped cream.
  3. Spread the peanut butter pie filling into the crust and chill.

Garnish with chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, mini peanut butter cups, or a drizzle of wicked hot fudge sauce.
