One of my very best friends is obsessed with Peanut Butter Pie. She recently came into town to visit and I wanted to make one for her, and this pie was born. I wanted it to have a decadently sweet crust to counter the peanut butter filling. It’s topped off with fluffy whipped cream to make it light and drizzled with hot fudge sauce and honey roasted almonds. It got her seal of approval. She said it was the best one she’s ever had.

Everyone I’ve served it to since then has also loved it. And the best part is it’s no bake! You can also freeze this beauty. I think I prefer it frozen. Especially on a hot summer day. That way it stays cold for longer. Considering it doesn’t actually stay on my plate for very long.

Put on the whipped topping and garnish as you would like and pop it in the freezer for a cooler peanut butter pie treat. It is delicious either way!

Do me a favor when you make it and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD make your own crust, do NOT buy that crap already made in the aisle. Please? Okay. Thanks. If you don’t have a food processor then simply put the Oreos into a ziplock bag and smash them with a rolling pin, soup can, or anything heavy. You can mix the butter into the smashed ores with a fork and make sure it gets incorporated. I’ve done this before at a relatives house.

Mostly enjoy this delicious peanut butter treat. You could even top it with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Or any other peanut treat you love.
