This No-Bake Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie is a surprisingly easy dessert that’s such a crowd-pleaser! It’s great as part of a dessert table, but it’s a beautiful dessert for any occasion on its own. Decadent and dreamy, it has layers of creamy peanut butter and chocolate filling on top of an Oreo pie crust. This is then all drizzled with chocolate and peanut butter and chopped nuts for a great presentation and added textures. It’s easy enough to make for a potluck, but fancy enough to make for special occasions like a birthday party or dinner party!

Alternatively, a Dessert Charcuterie Board is a great way to make a no-bake dessert with a bit of something for everyone!
Ingredients Needed:
Oreo: different kinds of Oreos or cookies will change up the flavor of this pie, so feel free to experiment! Any sandwich cookie with frosting will work here in the same amount. Butter: use unsalted butter for this recipe. Cream Cheese: I always use full-fat blocks of cream cheese for desserts as they hold up and slice better without falling apart. You are welcome to try light cream cheese or non-dairy cream cheese, but I have not tested this recipe with those. Peanut Butter: only regular creamy peanut butter will work here. The natural peanut butter will be too runny. You are welcome to use smooth or crunchy peanut butter. Powdered Sugar: AKA confectioners’ sugar, we’ll use it to add some substance and sweetness to each layer of filling. Cream: Only heavy whipping cream will work well in this recipe, I do not recommend any lighter varieties. You are welcome to experiment with store-bought whipped topping for a low-fat option, but I have not. Chocolate: use a solid chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips for the best results. Garnish (optional): Top your chocolate peanut butter pie with chopped peanuts, peanut butter cups, chocolate shavings, or Homemade Whipped Cream!

Tips and Notes
Good quality chocolate. Choose a good quality solid chocolate bar if you can. Chocolate chips may not melt smoothly. Pie crust. You can save time and use a pre-made pie crust instead of the Oreo cookie crust if you prefer. Springform pan. You can use a springform pan for more of a cheesecake look. This will also be easy to slice without having to dig it out of a pie plate. Chill for a minimum of 6 hours. This pie needs a minimum of 6 hours to chill to fully set. Mind not to slice into it too soon either or you’ll just end up with a big mess! Get clean slices. Run a sharp knife under warm water, dry completely, then slice into the cake. Repeat between slices.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Variations
Mix up the topping. Top with dark chocolate chips to get a combination of chocolate flavors, peanut butter chips, store-bought chocolate sauce, or chocolate sprinkles – use what you have, or just get creative! Change the cookie base. You can use any kind of no-bake pie base for this no-bake pie. Replace the Oreo cookies with chocolate graham crackers for a similar taste, or use another flavor of Oreo cookies for a different flavor. Banana. Banana is a great addition to chocolate and peanut butter. Either add some banana slices to this pie, or try my No Bake Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Cream Pie for more banana flavor!
