I can’t take the credit for this Peanut Butter Nutella Pie, but my husband can because he’s the one that dreamed it up. It’s just one of a trillion things I love about him, his ability to suggest a pie that is a combination of so many things I love: peanut butter, Nutella, and Nutter Butters!
It’s basically a no-bake peanut butter pie but amped up with a layer of Nutella and a peanut butter cookie crust. In my world, there are never enough no bake pies!
You can make this Nutella pie ahead and serve it at room temperature, cold from the fridge or freeze it and serve it frozen. So many options!

3 Easy No Bake Layers
There are several parts to this recipe, but it’s an easy to make and it’s perfect for entertaining because you can make it ahead of time. Basically, there are three parts:
- No-bake cookie crust
- Peanut butter layer
- Nutella layer
Can I just tell you how amazing this pie is? I mean, just listing out the parts has me craving it all over again. It’s so good.
But I digress. Let’s talk about how to make it! First up, the crust.
Nutter Butter Cookie Crust
I am all about the Nutter Butters – they make a perfect no-bake crust for pie! Nutter Butters are peanut butter cookie sandwiches, and if you can’t find them you can use any sandwich cookie (they make generic versions at most grocery stores).
The best news is that you don’t have to turn on the oven for this easy pie crust. You will want to make it first because it needs time to chill – by the time you finish the filling it will be ready.
Use your food processor to finely crush the cookies and mix them with melted butter. Then just press the mixture into a 9” pie pan. Pop it in the fridge and that’s it. You have to love a super simple pie crust!
Prepare the Whipped Cream
The pie has two layers and each one will need some whipped cream folded in. Homemade whipped cream is so easy to make! For this recipe, all you need is heavy whipping cream and brown sugar. Just whisk the two together until stiff peaks form.
Place the bowl in the fridge while you make the rest of the recipe. That way, it’s nice and cold when you add it to the pie.
How to Make the Layers
- For the Nutella layer, beat softened cream cheese with Nutella and brown sugar until it’s creamy. Fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream and then spread the mixture over the peanut butter cookie crust.
- For the peanut butter layer, follow the same process and beat the peanut butter with cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in the rest of the whipped cream and spread the mixture over the top of the Nutella layer.
At this point, feel free to garnish the pie with crushed Nutter Butters for a little decoration and crunchiness.
FAQ and Tips
Yes you definitely can. See the recipe for amounts.
You can make this pie in advance and the leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for a few days. Personally, I love this peanut pie frozen – it’s the ultimate cold and creamy treat. Just wrap it tightly before you freeze it.
Yes – feel free to use a graham cracker crust or an Oreo crust if you prefer.
Make this no-bake pie for all the peanut butter and Nutella fans in your life – it’s always a hit when I make it for mine. Enjoy!

Looks so good
Hi we don’t get nutter butters in South Africa, but I make my own peanut butter cookie recipe which is gluten free and delicious. 1 cup peanut butter, half a cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt and an egg. Mix together, use a teaspoon to make balls place on baking paper and flatten slightly with a fork – they do spread quite a bit. Bake at 160 C until a crust forms on the top – about 12 mins. I use a home gas oven so I have learnt to bake by smell and feel rather than temperature and time so some experimentation may be needed ;). These with Nutella and cream would be wow.
Yum!!! Thanks for the tip Lauren!
Hahaha. I’m the same way. “I will be the FIRST person in the WORLD to post this! Ahaha!” And then, after a google, “Oh… 🙁 ”
Your husband is still a genius and this pie looks amazing! A perfect combination of flavors. 🙂
Thanks Erin!! 🙂
