The recipe comes together quite quickly the only time-consuming part is letting the pie chill to set up properly, but just like many things in life, the best things are worth the wait! You get the peanut butter flavor in the filling and the topping, so this is perfect for your peanut butter lovers.
I'm confident you and yours will love this no-bake dessert recipe!
Flavor & Texture Builders
- Oreo cookie crust: A crisp, chocolatey base that holds up beautifully against the creamy filling and reinforces the chocolate flavor.
- Creamy peanut butter: Smooth and rich, it provides structure and that classic salty-sweet peanut butter flavor.
- Cream cheese: Adds body and tang so the filling is creamy but not overly sweet or heavy.
- Melted chocolate: Brings depth and richness, balancing the peanut butter without overpowering it.
- Whipped cream: Lightens the filling so the pie stays fluffy and sliceable rather than dense.
Other optional toppings chopped reese's peanut butter cups or crushed Reese's pieces would be delish.

Let's Build This Chocolate Peanut Butter Beauty
While testing, I found that folding the whipped cream in gently keeps the filling light instead of dense.
A few months ago I was recipe-testing a chocolate peanut butter cake and when I hit gold, I hit gold. This chocolate peanut butter cake recipe is an all-time favorite of my sisters now!

- Total Time: 6 hours 25 minutes
- Yield: 8-10 Slices 1x
Ingredients
Pie
- 9-Inch Oreo Pie Crust OR
- 12oz Oreos, completely crushed into a crumb
- 3 Tablespoon Butter, melted
- 8oz Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 8oz (1 Cup) Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4oz Milk Chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
- 120 grams (1 Cup) Confectioner Sugar
Topping
- 6oz Chocolate
- 2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4oz Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3-4 Tablespoons Roasted Peanuts, chopped
- Homemade Whipped Cream or Store-bought Whipped Cream
Instructions
- In a food processor, crush the Oreos till they become a fine crumbs. Add melted butter, stirring until fully combined. Press into the bottom and slightly up the upsides of the pie dish. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment beat the heavy whipping cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the cream to a clean bowl and set it aside.
- In the dirty whipped cream bowl add the paddle attachment and add the cream cheese and peanut butter and mix to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure they are evenly combined. Add in the powdered sugar and mix to fully combine. Now mix in the melted chocolate. Scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined. Mix in sour cream.
- Using a spatula gently fold in the whipped cream, until just combined and no white streaks remain.
- Pour chocolate peanut butter cream filling into the Oreo crust and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer. Wrap the pie in plastic wrap tightly, then store in the fridge for at least six hours.
- When ready to decorate make the ganache. In a small saucepan add the cream and cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes to warm it, you don't want to boil it though. You can also do this in the microwave. In a medium bowl add the chocolate and peanut butter then pour the warmed cream directly over it. Let it sit untouched for 5 minutes then using a whisk mix well together until a shiny homogenous chocolate ganache is formed. Pour ganache on top and use an angled spatula to spread into an even layer. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top and add whipped cream.
- Serve chilled and store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days.

pjo says
The ingredients call for 2 TB sour cream but the instructions make no mention of it. Is this an error or, if not, when do I add that ingredient?
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi PJO, so sorry about that error I have updated the recipe card to specify when to add the sour cream. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if you try the recipe I would love to know what you think! XX Liz

Hi Elizabeth, I have a friend that loves peanut butter pie. He was describing one that another friend of his had made him that had chocolate on top of it. So, I googled chocolate peanut butter pie and voilà your recipe popped up. I said, "that's the one I'll make for him." I did make one change to your recipe, when I got to the end; instead of topping it off with regular white topping, I added Nestle Chocolate Nesquik and made it chocolate whipped topping. The pie was super BIG hit. My friend, his wife and daughter fell in love with the pie. I tried to attach a picture of the pie, but it wouldn't let me.

Tabbatha says
Is the sour cream to cut back on the richness? Im trying to find a recipe thats kinda lighter in richness & not as thick. Thanks for your help!
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Tabbatha, yes I like the sour cream for the creaminess and tang which I find helps cut back on the richness. I hope that helps! Let me know if you try the recipe! XX Liz
