A rich and creamy no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie perfect for easy Father’s Day treats, combining a crunchy chocolate crust with a silky peanut butter filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed (Oreos or similar)
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (optional for drizzling)
  • Chopped peanuts or shaved chocolate (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a processor, crush them in a sealed bag with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add the melted unsalted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well until the mixture looks like wet sand. It should stick together when pressed.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to make it even and compact. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth—no lumps!
  5. Add the creamy peanut butter and continue to beat until well combined.
  6. Sift in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix again until the filling is smooth and glossy.
  7. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  9. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  10. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Before serving, drizzle melted chocolate over the pie and sprinkle chopped peanuts or shaved chocolate for garnish.

Notes

If cream cheese isn’t soft enough, microwave in 10-second intervals without melting. Warm peanut butter slightly if thick for easier mixing. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Chill crust before filling to prevent sogginess. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. For faster chilling, freeze pie for 30-45 minutes but do not freeze solid.
