Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 14-ounce package Oreos
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Crust: Pulse Oreos in a food processor until crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and add the melted butter; stir to combine thoroughly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie plate to form the crust. Place in the freezer to firm up while preparing the filling.
- Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, whipped topping, and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended. Pour the filling into the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Freeze Pie: Place the assembled pie in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours or until fully solidified and set.
- Serve: Remove the pie from the freezer, slice it into portions, and serve immediately. Enjoy your rich, creamy peanut butter pie!
Notes
- For easier slicing, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- You can substitute the Oreos in the crust for graham crackers if preferred.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- This pie is best kept frozen and served cold due to its no-bake nature.
- Add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips to the filling for extra texture and flavor, if desired.
