The PERFECT No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie recipe with only FIVE ingredients! It’s the easiest pie recipe you’ll ever make and everyone will devour it.
Cream pies like this are so easy to make and even easier to eat…you’ve been warned. This one disappears as fast as you make it.
This easy pie recipe has only 5 ingredients and is super chocolatey. It’s no bake too, which I love. I think I prefer no-bake pies to baked ones, only because they’re so much easier to make.
I married my favorite chocolate cream pie with my favorite peanut butter pie to make this recipe. It’s SO easy and comes together in under 10 minutes, especially if you go the easy route and buy a crust, like I did.
When I’m in down mood or I’m tired or I have no motivation, I fallback on old standby recipes. These are recipes that I know will work, I know y’all will love, and are true to myself. Peanut butter, chocolate, and pie…can’t get any more true to Crazy for Crust than that.
In a word, comfort. This pie is comfort. Another word: dangerous for my diet.

5 Ingredient Pie Recipe
If you use a little semi-homemade help, this pie only has 4 main ingredients:
- Chocolate Pudding
- Milk
- Peanut Butter
- Cool Whip
- Oreo Crust
Now, when you’re making a no bake chocolate peanut butter pie with Oreo crust, you have a few options.
First, choose your favorite chocolate pudding. Just be sure to use instant!
You can also choose your favorite no-stir peanut butter – creamy or crunchy!
As for the Cool Whip, you can use regular, light, sugar-free, or any brand. Using whipped topping makes this SO easy.
If you want to make this with fresh whipped cream you can do that also.
Then there is the crust! This pairs perfectly with an Oreo Crust – either from scratch or from the store, but it would also go with graham cracker or a Nutter Butter Crust! Or make a chocolate peanut butter pie with regular pie crust!
How to make an easy cream pie
- Be sure to start with instant pudding. That whisks up easy! Just whisk the pudding with the milk.
- Whisking in the peanut butter takes time, so you can use a mixer if you want. It will be thick!
- Carefully fold in the Cool Whip slowly. It’ll seem like it’s never going to mix up but it will. Don’t mix too fast or it will become watery.
This pie is a fluffy and easy 5 ingredient chocolate pie full of peanut butter. There’s nothing wrong with that!
FAQ
Yes you can. Beat 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to make your whipped cream. Slowly fold in half into the pie mixture and use the remaining for the topping.
That often happens when you mix it too much and the cool whip/whipped cream breaks. Make sure to fold it slowly.
Yes, or whole milk.

Great!
Are you sure you use a 3.9 oz box of pudding for the 4 ingredient no bake peanut butter Pie? I have 2 boxes of 1.4 oz and on the directions of the box it says one box will make a 8 inch pie?
Are you using sugar free pudding? Most sugar free boxes are in the 1.4-1.8 ounce range, while regular is 3.4 ounces or so. And make sure it’s INSTANT pudding!
Can you freeze
