No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie


  • Author: Thea
  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A foolproof, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese filling set in a chocolate cookie crust, topped with a glossy chocolate layer. It requires only a few ingredients and minimal effort for maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (about 250g, such as Oreos)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (250g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (170g)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt (preferably flaky sea salt)

Instructions

  1. Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined and smooth.
  6. In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  8. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
  9. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Pour the melted chocolate over the frozen pie and spread evenly to the edges.
  11. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt immediately.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the chocolate and filling are fully set.
  13. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not skip the 30-minute freeze step before adding chocolate to prevent sinking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
