No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Reece's No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is a gorgeous, mile-high pie equipped with a creamy peanut butter filling, speckled with decadent bites of chopped Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. The fluffy filling sits on top of an Oreo pie crust, and the whole shebang is finished with a cascade of dreamy whipped cream.

If you're feeling extra decadent, add more Reece's Peanut Butter Cups across the top, alongside a welcomed drizzle of chocolate syrup.

The filling for this peanut butter pie is, of course, no-bake, and comes together in a mere matter of minutes. This is a year-round dessert perfect for entertaining and potluck parties, and it works as beautifully on a hot summer's day BBQ as it does on the Thanksgiving dessert table, as well as every gathering in between.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie consists of three main elements, two of which can be as homemade or as store-bought as you'd like them to be.

OREO CRUST

Homemade Oreo Pie crust is easy to make and comes together lickety-split thanks to the food processor. Even if you don't have a food processor, you can easily slam out a homemade rendition with a zip-top bag and a rolling pin. 

For a homemade Oreo pie crust, you'll need:

• Oreos  (Filling Intact)
• Melted Butter

Of course, the only downside to making your own Oreo pie crust is the recipe is no longer entirely "no-bake." This is a sacrifice some might not be willing to take, and if this is a deal-breaker for you, simply purchase a pre-made Oreo pie crust from the baking aisle of your grocery store.

THE FILLING

The filling for No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is rich and creamy, smooth and decadent, and über peanut buttery. Thanks to the addition of cream cheese, the pie filling holds together all on its own and all it takes is a simple mix. The filling ingredients are as follows:

• Cream Cheese
• Peanut Butter
• Powdered Sugar
• Chopped Peanut Butter Cups
• Butter
• Vanilla
• Salt

Any time you are blending ingredients together and there is no heat involved (e.g. pie fillings, frostings, cold dips, etc...), it is especially important that the ingredients are at room temperature. Otherwise, they will not blend properly. Therefore, it is important that both your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for this recipe.

WHIPPED CREAM PIE TOPPING

The last element to your pie is the whipped cream topping. Whipped cream, much like the crust and the filling, is crazy easy to make. However, storebought substitutions can be made. 

Here's what you'll need for a homemade rendition:

• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla Extract

If you'd like to dress up your whipped cream topping, even more, drizzle it with a touch of chocolate syrup and an extra sprinkle of chopped Reece's just before serving.

HOW TO MAKE NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER PIE 

1. Make the Oreo Crust - Add the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs appear. Add the butter and continue processing until the mixture appears evenly moistened. As mentioned earlier, you could also use a ziptop bag and a rolling pin to crush the Oreos. The mixture goes into a pie dish and is baked. Be sure you allow the crust to cool completely before using.
2. Make the Whipped Cream - To make homemade whipped cream, simply add all of your whipped cream ingredients to the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, and mix until the cream has thickened and holds its shape when the whisk attachment is turned upside down. 
3. Mix Up the Pie Filling - Pie filling does not get easier than this. All you need to do for a perfectly decadent, creamy Reece's No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie filling is add the ingredients to a bowl and mix until smooth. But, remember, the key to a silky cream cheese filling is room temperature cream cheese and butter.
4. Assemble the Pie - Once your filling ingredients are combined, you'll add in some chopped Reece's Peanut Butter cups and spread the filling across the cooled Oreo pie crust. Then, spoon a heaping layer of the whipped cream across the top.
5. Chill Before Serving - Before cutting into the pie, give it time to chill so it will stand up tall and slice neatly when cut into. Refrigerate until completely chilled through (2-3 hours), or up to overnight, before serving.
6. Garnish - Before you serve the pie, make extra irresistible and drizzle the whipped cream topping with chocolate sauce, and finish with an extra sprinkle of chopped Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.
