Even those pretty chocolate curls on top are pretty easy to make, but they definitely add a special touch.
The crust on this chocolate peanut butter pie was made using Peanut Butter OREO Cookies.
I’m honestly not sure if Peanut Butter OREOs are available throughout the year, and if you can’t find them, regular OREO Cookies will work just as well.

I LOVE pies made using an OREO crust. There’s just something so delicious about it that reminds me of desserts that I ate as a kid, and it’s also a nice change from traditional graham cracker crusts.
As much as I adore this OREO pie crust, I want to share a little secret with you.
If you don’t have time to make your own crust you can absolutely just use a store-bought pie crust and follow the rest of the recipe for the filling and topping! I’m all about saving time and I’ve even done that once or twice with this recipe myself.
The filling in this easy pie recipe will send you to peanut butter heaven. It’s so light, creamy and delicious that I can confidently this chocolate peanut butter pie is one of my all-time favorite dessert recipes.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients
For the crust
- 24 Peanut Butter OREO Cookies regular OREOs would be fine
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
For the pie
- 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 8 oz. container whipped topping, thawed
For the chocolate curls
- 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Crisco
Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Add the butter and pulse until blended. Dump mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Firmly press into the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 350 for 6 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
For the pie filling
- In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese and the peanut butter until well blended and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until well blended. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of the whipped topping just until combined.
- Pour into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the filling.
For the chocolate curls
- In a small microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate and the crisco at 30 second intervals and stir until blended. Pour onto the back of a metal pan, I used a 9×9 inch square pan. Spread very thin, I covered the whole pan. Put in the freezer for 3 minutes. Using a spatula pushing forward, scrape the chocolate forming curls.
- Sprinkle the curls evenly over the top of the pie. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
