Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust or Oreo cookie crust
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Optional Topping: Chocolate syrup or chopped peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare your crust: If using a store-bought crust, place it on a serving plate or pie dish. If making an Oreo crust, crush 24 Oreos and mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter, then press into the pie plate and chill while you make the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Add the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the cold milk and the thawed whipped topping. Gently fold this mixture into the peanut butter and cream cheese base until just combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until the filling is light and fluffy. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the fluffy peanut butter filling evenly into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  8. Before serving, top with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or chopped peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use a pre-made Oreo crust.
  • If you do not have heavy whipping cream, you can substitute it with an additional 1 cup of thawed whipped topping, though the texture will be slightly less airy.
  • This pie sets best when chilled for a full 6 hours. Plan ahead for the best texture.
