• Gently mix in the cool whip
• Spread the filling over the oreo crust

Layer #3 – topping, whipped cream

This pie needs to be refrigerated. It can also be frozen for a frozen dessert pie! Be sure to cover the pie with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. 

Time Required

• 5 minutes to make the peanut butter filling
• 5 minutes to make whipped cream topping

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Pie

It is really easy to make this peanut butter pie gluten free by using gluten free oreos for the crust. All of the other ingredients in the recipe are naturally gluten free!

Swap the Oreo Crust for a Graham Cracker Crust

If you prefer a graham cracker crust, here’s our recipe!

• 1 & 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 6 tbsp melted butter

Combine all the ingredients and press into the pie pan. 

Tips for Making No Bake Pie

• Blend the entire oreo (cream and cookies) when making the crust.
• I recommend using creamy peanut butter, not natural peanut butter as it can separate.
• Use a sharp, skinny knife to cut the pie into pieces.

1. Before serving the pie - place a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.
2. Remove the bowl from the freezer. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form / it’s scoop-able with a spoon and holds its shape.
