    How To Make Oreo Peanut Butter Pie

    Crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl.

    Put the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl and stir until evenly moistened. Then, press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.

    Spread hot fudge sauce over crust.

    Warm the chocolate fudge sauce in the microwave and then spread it over the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to cool.

    Beating the peanut butter pie filling with a hand mixer.

    Beat the softened cream cheese for two minutes, until light and fluffy. Then, stir in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Next, mix in the Cool Whip. Finally, spread the filling over the chilled chocolate layer in the crust.

    Drizzle melted peanut butter over the pie.

    Melt more chocolate fudge sauce to drizzle over the top and then drizzle melted peanut butter in the opposite direction.

    Piping Cool Whip around the edge.

    Pipe swirls of Cool Whip around the edge of the pie.

    Adding mini peanut butter cups.

    Press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each swirl. If you can’t find the mini size, you can cut larger peanut butter cups into pieces. Then, place the pie in the freezer to harden or if you have more time, you can put it in the fridge overnight.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of Oreos should I use to make a crust?

    You can use any of the regular Oreo cookie sandwiches (not the thins or the double-stuffed ones). Golden Oreos and classic Oreos are widely available. But you can also use peanut butter Oreos or the chocolate peanut butter pie flavor.

    What kinds of chocolate sauce is in peanut butter pie?

    I used chocolate fudge ice cream topping, but chocolate ganache would be amazing as the bottom layer. To make it, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream just until it starts to boil. Pour it over one cup of chocolate chips and allow it to sit for three minutes. Then, stir until smooth.

    Can I use real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

    Yes, you can substitute the Cool Whip with an equal amount of whipped cream.

    How can I make the drizzle on the top look pretty?

    The melted peanut butter and chocolate drizzles will look more even when you pipe them on the pie. Use a pastry bag or even a sandwich bag with the corner clipped off.

    Tonia’s Notes

    My high school daughter ran home during a free period to pick up this Oreo peanut butter pie to share with her friends. She had already shown them pictures of the pie, and they REALLY wanted some.

    She ran into the house and grabbed the pie as well as some paper plates, plastic forks, and napkins. After returning to school, she said the pie was gone in less than two minutes. Even her friend Genevieve liked it, and she had never found a pie she liked!

      This recipe looks wonderful! I would love to try and make it. But I can’t have gluten, and I think those candy bars have gluten in them. Is there any gluten free option I can use for the crust instead of the girl scout candy bars? Thank in advance for any advice you can provide.

        Thanks Julie! I would suggest that you use your favorite brand of ready-made gluten free peanut butter cookies. You will need to add some peanut butter or butter to make the cookie crumbles stick together and form a crust since the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout candy bars are dipped in chocolate and have layers of peanut butter cream.

        You could make it in a 9×13 pan or two 9 inch pie or cake pans. You wouldn’t be able to take it out of the pan to put on a cake stand but that wouldn’t matter one bit! Thanks for stopping by and best of luck, Cathy!
