Peanut butter and cream cheese pie
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieYou don’t need an oven to make this pie because there is absolutely no baking involved. You don’t even need special equipment. An electric mixer is handy but a wire whisk will do the job too although the process will take longer and your arm muscles will get more exercise as well. Not necessarily a bad thing so it’s up to you whether you want to do everything by hand.
The crust is made with crushed Oreo cookies and the filling is a mixture of cream cheese, peanut butter, cream and powdered sugar. The original pie recipe is from The Pioneer Woman but I had to make some changes to accommodate family preferences. My husband, Speedy, did want the crust to be too thick so I reduced the amount of Oreo cookies. The filling in the original recipe did not look like it would fill my pie dish to the brim (especially considering the thinner crust) so I added and subtracted here and there. The sinful addition of chocolate morsels? My idea. Guilty.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
21 Oreo cookies (that’s 21 whole cookies, NOT 21 halves)
1/4 c. of butter
For the filling:
500 g. of cream cheese, at room temperature
340 g. of creamy peanut butter
1-1/2 c. of powdered sugar
1/2 c. of cream
a pinch of salt
For the topping:
1/4 c. of chocolate morsels (sweet or semi-sweet)
You can crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor, I don’t have one, so I did it the old fashioned way.
I placed the Oreos, in batches, on a chopping board.
And crushed them by rolling them over with a rolling pin. I kept rolling back and forth until no large pieces remained and all the white cookie filling was no longer visible having been incorporated into the dark mass of chocolate cookies.
After processing each batch, I dumped the crushed Oreos into a glass pie plate.
I poured in the melted butter…
… Mixed everything together then, using my fingers, pressed the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish.
Then, I covered the dish with cling wrap and placed it in the freezer. Reason for freezing? To solidify the butter and harden the crust to prevent it from falling apart when the filling is spread over it.

Oh, I am not sure.
Hi Ms Connnie,
I’m a frequent visitor of your site but this is the first time that I’m going to comment.
Thanks for this recipe. Yey, two of my faves (cream cheese and peanut butter) tapos no bake pa! Will try to do this later.
I must say that I really enjoy reading all the recipes (with kwentos) and (some) amusing comments.
Thanks again.

Torture? hehehe That’s something Speedy would say. Torture on his diet.

thanks for posting! =)
Hi Ms. Connie, Thank you for another great recipe! I have read some similar recipes and some of them include mixing gelatin powder dissolved in hot water (just enough to dissolve) to achieve a better shape. You might want to try it.
I`ll make one tonight! Your pictures made me and my hubby crave for some! God bless!
Actually, I stay away from cheesecake recipes that include gelatin. Might be good to hold shape but ruins the texture.
heavenly! self-confessed peanut butter addict here!
hi connie! just read your recipe, looks delish!! one question though? can i use nutella instead of peanut butter? my kids love nutella so much kase. thanks a million!
I think you can. But since nutella is sweeter than peanut butter, you may have to adjust the amount of sugar.
Hi Ms. Connie,
This is my first time to view your website, a friend of mine shared this with me…oh my this looks yummy..i think i better do this, but may i ask what cream cheese and peanut butter could i use? Ur heaven sent Ms. Connie, ur a great help to us newbies in the kitchen!
Reading your recipes made me think and feel that we’re super close na..hehe! Thanks and Godbless..
The cream cheese was Philadelphia. The peanut butter, I don’t remember. Just don’t use the local brands like Lily’s. Too oily. Good for kare-kare but not for this pie.
You made me crave for sweet! Now, may dessert na para sa Sunday’s Father’s Day. Your blog is really helpful. Thanks!
Oooh this looks yummy!
My brother is crazy about peanut butter. I’ll make this for our next family gathering.
Thanks, Connie.
I never saw the “no baking involved” part kaya di ko masyadong pinansin. i may try this one of these days or maybe i could use graham crackers as substitute.
Might be too sweet. The slight bitterness of the chocolate sets off the sweet filling wonderfully.
great to know that there is no baking involved in this recipe. i’ll try this one. thanks for the post.
I made this dessert last night,ubos agad my family likes it nice combination oreo + peanut butter so yummy…
I love all your recipes, and a big fan of yours.
When I read your recipes and stories, makes me miss the Philippines. This recipe sounds so good and easy. I love peanut butter. I have oatmeal everyday champorado style for bfast. I add a big tablespoon of peanut butter right after it’s done. And I use french vanilla coffee creamer instead of milk. I tell you is is so gooood! No need to add sugar. Thank’s.
Hi Ms. Connie, my family wonders who am I referring to everytime I brag to them that ” I have a kitchen mentor and her name is Connie!”. I am a big fan of your recipes, especially those tofu recipes… my husband loves them so much.. and when he asked me how I’ve learned to cook them.. I answered, it’s Connie who taught me? ha ha ha, he used to say, ” sino bang connie? officemate mo? friend mo? I keep them wondering.. hahaha, until now, but they sometimes ask me to ask more recipes pa daw sayo… thanks ms. connie! you’re my angel in my kitchen
Perhaps, you should show them my blog — your hubby and kids might feel encouraged to learn to cook too.
Bookmarked this! Bakit ba ngayon ko lang nakita ito. I will definitely do this tomorrow. Can’t wait. Kung malapit lang samin supermarket, sana ngayon na.
Thanks for this Ms. Sassy Connie.
