No-Bake Peanut Butter Cup Pie

I’m a huge fan of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.  In fact, it’s probably my favorite candy bar.  Wait.  Is a Reese’s Cup a candy bar?  Hmmm…

Regardless of what you call it, it’s my favorite.  And I’m a pretty big fan of the peanut butter/chocolate combo in general.  That’s why I just LOVE this No-Bake Peanut Butter Cup Pie so much!

Peanut butter cup pieces are folded into a silky, rich peanut butter and cream cheese filling.  It rests in a pre-made OREO cookie crust and is topped with fresh whipped cream.  Whew!  Gimme some more!

Peanut butter Cup Pie served on dishI took one of Heather’s favorite pies, my Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie, gave it an update, and swapped out the chocolate chips for chopped peanut butter cups.  And then I ate more of it than I care to admit. I did share them with my mom’s office – partly because I’m a nice person and like to share, but mostly because having them in the fridge here in the test kitchen was way too much temptation – and I’ve gotten several messages from them asking when the recipe is going up.  Apparently they liked the pie too!  🙂

Peanut Butter Cup Pie with slice missingNow, it’s worth mentioning that the filling is made with a 16-ounce container of whipped topping (AKA – Cool Whip), but the topping is fresh whipped cream.  That’s intentional.  I really like the fresh whipped cream as the topping for this, but the Cool Whip is stabilized and works better in the filling.  That said, if you’re crunched for time (or just don’t want to spend the time whipping cream – no judgement, we’ve all been there), you can just grab another 8-ounce container of Cool Whip to use as the topping.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Author Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 10 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • 1 Oreo Cookie pie crust

For the whipped cream*

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar and mix well.
  • Carefully fold in whipped topping and stir in the chopped peanut butter cups, reserving a few for the topping.
  • Pour into pie crust. Freeze overnight.
  • Once ready to serve, beat the cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until stiff peaks. Top the pie with the whipped cream and the reserved chopped peanut butter cups and serve.

Notes

* I really like the flavor of the fresh whipped cream as the topping on this pie, but you can save a few steps and some time by using an additional 8-ounce container of whipped topping instead.

    This is absolutely delicious! My grandson is requesting peanut butter cheesecake for his birthday dessert from his Grams and I know that this will fill the bill quite well.

    Could you use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese?

      I’ve not done that, but don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You’ll just want to make sure that you beat it well to soften it.

    I’m confused on step 4. If the cream cheese and powdered sugar was mixed together in step 1, how do you mix them again in step 4?

      Step 4 is the step where you make the whipped cream topping. It’s heavy cream and powdered sugar in that step not cream cheese and powdered sugar. Hope that helps!

    Have you ever used a different Pie Crust for this like a Peanut Butter Cookie pie crust or Pretzel pie crust? Possibly are endless!

    I love making this pie and make it often for gatherings……It’s so easy and delicious. I do make this with a gluten free oreo pie crust and it taste just the same.

    Try adding a little fresh lemon juice. Really wakes up the flavor.

    Hi! I’m making this for a potluck picnic I’m going to later this evening. So far, the filling is delish! What will the texture be like after its inevitably thawed some from sitting outside? Will it hold up, or become very messy?

      Sorry I’m just now getting to replying! It should hold its shape for the most part, but will get soft. If it’s really warm, it will melt.

    I squirted some chocolate icecream topping in a crisscross pattern before cutting it. They licked their fingers raw on this one.

    Does this have to be frozen, or will it set up if it is just refrigerated? Sounds scrumptious.

      It can be refrigerated, but I much prefer the texture when it’s frozen. It just won’t be as firm in the fridge.
