This creamy, dreamy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie combines a velvety peanut butter filling, a crisp chocolate cookie crust, and a luscious chocolate ganache topping for an irresistible dessert that requires no oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, without the filling)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter (natural or processed, your choice)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Mini Reese’s cups (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula until fully incorporated.
  3. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  4. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the ganache over the chilled pie, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Garnish with chopped peanuts, mini Reese’s cups, or chocolate shavings if desired.
  6. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another hour to set the ganache. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Chill the pie thoroughly for the best texture. Use a warm knife for clean slices. Customize the crust or toppings to suit your preferences.
