Peanut butter lovers: this Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Pie is one of the BEST desserts you’ll ever have! With a thick, no-bake Oreo crust, creamy peanut-butter filling & chocolate ganache drizzle, this pie will always be a favorite!
There’s nothing better than a thick slice of Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie, served with a dollop of Homemade Whipped Cream or ice cream. Skip dinner…on to PB PIE!
Ingredients
- Oreos – finely crushed Oreos make the perfect crust.
- Unsalted butter – butter is added to the crust, the filling, and the ganache. It helps the Oreo crumbs bind together, it creates a creamy and decadent filling, and it gives the ganache a beautiful shine! Butter makes everything better!
- Creamy peanut butter – we’re making a peanut butter pie, right?
- Powdered sugar – powdered sugar lightens up your PB filling.
- Vanilla extract – vanilla extract adds a touch of extra flavor to your filling. I love vanilla extract!
- Semisweet chocolate chips – semisweet chocolate is just the right amount of darkness to create a chocolaty drizzle without being too bitter for the rest of the pie.
- Heavy cream – heavy cream is the base for a luxurious ganache.
- Salt – salt adds a touch of extra flavor.
Peanut Butter Pie Variations & Toppings
- Pre-made Oreo crust – you can sometimes find a pre-made Oreo crust in the baking aisle of your grocery store. It’s not going to be quite as thick and delicious as a homemade Oreo crust, but it will do the job if you’re in a pinch!
- Graham cracker crust – If you’re not an Oreo fan (which makes me cry a little!), you can use a graham cracker crust, either store-bought or made from scratch by mixing about 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs with ¼ cup sugar and 6 tablespoons melted butter.
- Golden Oreo crust – use golden Oreos instead of regular Oreos.
- No chocolate ganache – just want the peanut butter filling in a delicious Oreo crust? No ganache drizzle necessary!
- Finish with crushed Reese’s or peanut butter chips on the top.
- Add a strawberry or raspberry jam drizzle – use a Ziploc bag to pipe and drizzle your jam of choice…for a peanut butter and jelly pie!
How to Make Peanut Butter Pie
Full instructions in the recipe card; this is just an outline!
- Make Oreo crust
In a food processor, pulse Oreos until they are a fine crumb. Add melted butter. Use hands to create a packed, stable crust. Freeze crust for 15 minutes.

- Make chocolate ganache
Heat chocolate chips and butter in the microwave. Add in heavy cream and vanilla. Stir until incorporated. Place pie and chocolate ganache in the fridge to let chocolate firm up. Add ganache to a Ziploc bag and pipe chocolate in a zig-zag design across the pie, until all chocolate is used!
