Why You'll Love This Recipe
- One of the best peanut butter desserts for the peanut butter lover in your life!
- The light, airy mousse that has you hooked with the first bite!
- Easy recipe, especially if it's your first time making pies!
- No-bake desserts are a must when it's too hot to bake or during the holidays when your oven is full of other holiday foods!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Heavy Cream - aka...heavy whipping cream. If you want to substitute cool whip for fresh whipped cream, you can. You will need 2 (8oz) containers.
- Butter - both unsalted butter and salted butter work great!
- Peanut Butter Oreos - The Oreo pie crust for this recipe is made from peanut butter-filled Oreos. You can use regular Oreos; however, the peanut butter filling definitely adds to the pie. If you choose to use regular Oreos, you will need to add 2 additional tablespoons of butter to the crust to make it hold together.
- Peanut Butter Chips - I use the Reese's peanut butter chips.
- Chocolate Chips - You can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips, depending on how much of a dark chocolate flavor you want.
- 9-Inch Pie Plate - You can use an 8-inch springform pan in place of the pie pan.
My Favorite Things For This Recipe
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Count out and crush the peanut butter Oreos either in a ziploc bag with a rolling pan or with, my preference, a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
- Add the butter to the cookie crumbs and process until crumbly.
- Press into a 9-inch pie plate for your no-bake pie crust.
- Set aside.
- Get out two microwave-safe bowls or measuring cups.
- I LOVE these silicone melt-and-pour cups for melting anything!
- Measure ½ Cup Chocolate chips into one bowl and ½ cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips in the other.
- Pour ¼ Cup of Heavy Cream over the chocolate chips and ¼ Cup of Heavy Cream over the peanut butter chips.
- Carefully microwave each bowl, one at a time, to melt the chips enough to whisk the mixture completely smooth.
- Set each aside to cool to room temperature.
- TIP - To cool them faster, pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, stirring here and there. Watch them carefully so they don't get too cold, though.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- For help on whipping cream, see this tutorial for How To Make Whipped Cream.
- Scoop the cooled peanut butter mixture into a medium bowl and FOLD in half the whipped cream.
- Remember to fold, DON"T stir!
- See how to "Fold" ingredients in here.
- Spread into the bottom of the crust.
- In the pictures, this layer appears as the top layer, but I've found since it ends up thicker than the chocolate layer, it's easier to have it as the bottom layer.
- FOLD the cooled, melted chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream to make a nice fluffy chocolate mousse.
- Pour over the top of the peanut butter layer and smooth evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before cutting and serving.
- Whip the last ½ cup of cream with 1 teaspoon of vanilla and ⅛ cup of powdered sugar to top your pie.
- Either spoon it or pipe it on!
- You can also chop up Reese's Peanut Butter cups and sprinkle them on top of the chocolate mousse layer.
- Chocolate curls or chocolate shavings also work well!
- Slice with a sharp knife that's been run under really hot water and quickly (but carefully) dried for a smooth cut.
