🥜 Mrs. Lacy’s Homemade Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Prep Time: Approximately 20 minutes
Chill Time: At least 4 hours, or until firm
Bake Time: None!
Yield: One generously filled pie, with possible extra filling depending on pan size

• 15–20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (approximately half a package)
• 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted

Ingredients for the Creamy Peanut Butter Filling

• 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 1–2 cups confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar), depending on your preferred sweetness
• 1–1½ cups creamy peanut butter
• 1 container (16 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed

Ingredients for the Topping

• Crushed Oreo cookies
• Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
• Chocolate fudge sauce (optional)
• Extra whipped cream (optional)

Note: Faye’s shared ingredient amounts include ranges for the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Start with the smaller amounts and adjust to your preferred flavor and sweetness.

👩‍🍳 Easy Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make Your Oreo Cookie Crust

Place approximately 15–20 Oreo cookies into a food processor or a sealed plastic bag.

Crush them into fine crumbs.

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with 1 stick of melted butter.

Stir until the cookie crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 2: Press the Crust Into Your Pie Dish

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Press the Oreo cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.

Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to help pack the crust evenly.

Place the crust in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the filling.

Faye’s tip: Pressing the crust firmly helps it hold together when you slice the pie!

Step 3: Make the Creamy Peanut Butter Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• 8 oz. softened cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar to start
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter to start

Using an electric mixer, beat everything together until smooth and creamy.

Taste and add more powdered sugar or peanut butter if desired.

Y’all, this filling is already looking good!

Step 4: Fold in the Cool Whip

Add the thawed 16-ounce container of Cool Whip to your peanut butter mixture.

Gently fold it in using a spatula until everything is smooth, light, and fluffy.

Important: For the best texture, thaw your Cool Whip in the refrigerator before using it.

Avoid overmixing once the whipped topping has been added.

Step 5: Fill Your Oreo Crust

Remove your chilled Oreo crust from the refrigerator.

Spoon the peanut butter filling into the crust and spread it evenly.

Smooth the top using a spatula.

This recipe makes a generous amount of filling, so depending on the depth of your pie dish, you may have enough for an additional small pie or a few individual dessert cups.

Step 6: Add the Delicious Toppings!

Now comes the fun part!

Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the top of your peanut butter pie.

Add chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

If you’d like, drizzle a little chocolate fudge sauce over the top for an extra chocolatey treat.

Y’all, doesn’t that sound wonderful? 😍

Step 7: Chill or Freeze Until Firm

Place your pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice.

For a firmer, frozen-dessert texture, place it in the freezer instead.

Step 8: Slice, Serve, and Enjoy!

If you’ve frozen your pie, let it sit at room temperature for approximately 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Cut into slices and serve cold.

And there you have it — Mrs. Lacy’s Homemade Peanut Butter Pie! 🥜🍫❤️

❤️ Faye’s Tips for Making the Best Peanut Butter Pie

Use softened cream cheese! This helps create a smooth, creamy filling without lumps.

Use creamy peanut butter! It blends beautifully with the cream cheese and whipped topping.

Start with less powdered sugar! You can always add more if you like your desserts extra sweet.

Thaw your Cool Whip in the refrigerator! This helps maintain its fluffy texture.

Don’t skip chilling the crust! It helps the Oreo cookie base hold together.

Try freezing your pie! If you love a firmer, ice-cream-like dessert, this is a wonderful option.

Make individual dessert cups! Extra filling can be layered with crushed Oreos in little jars or cups.

🍫 Why Peanut Butter and Chocolate Are So Delicious Together

There’s just something about the combination of rich peanut butter and sweet chocolate that makes a dessert irresistible!

The Oreo cookie crust adds a wonderful chocolate flavor and a little crunch.

The peanut butter filling is smooth, creamy, and rich.

And those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top bring everything together!

It’s a wonderful combination for anyone who loves peanut butter desserts.

🎄 The Perfect Make-Ahead Dessert for Holidays and Parties

One of the best things about Mrs. Lacy’s Peanut Butter Pie is that you can make it ahead of time.

It’s perfect for:

❄️ How to Store Homemade Peanut Butter Pie

Keep your peanut butter pie covered in the refrigerator and enjoy it within approximately 3–4 days.

For longer storage, freeze it tightly covered for up to 1–2 months for best quality.

If serving frozen, let it soften slightly before slicing.

Always return leftovers to the refrigerator or freezer promptly.
