Sloppy Peanut Butter Pie
Sometimes the messiest things are the best.
I mean, I know the benefits to a good picture.
No one wants to see what your kids REALLY look like.
They want to see your kids with their hair combed, clean clothes and socks with no holes.
But let’s be real.
On any given day you will find my kids walking around my house in soccer shorts, no shirt and Cheerios stuck in their uncombed hair…at 3:00 in the afternoon.
I mean, it is summer and all, so it’s a little more acceptable, but you knowww.
So basically the same thing applies with desserts. Or really food in general.
If it’s all sloppy and messy, apparently it’s not as appealing.
Like what if I made a cake here and posted what an ACTUAL slice looked like? Not the perfect slice that takes you 17 minutes to get from pan to plate, because you don’t want any crumbs or icing smears…
Because if you had an icing smear…gasp! It wouldn’t look delicious.
Well, I am here today to break the mold.
This “pie” isn’t perfect. It’s actually not even a pie.
I mean, there is kind of a crust…is that the defining characteristic of a pie?
Well, whatever, I’m calling it a pie.
Sloppy Peanut Butter Pie.
This whole thing is a pretty easy situation.
There’s no baking, which is awesome…
Start with a 9×13 pan and pour in some melted butter…
Then add in some crushed Oreo cookies…cream and all. Stir it up with the butter…
Then press it evenly into the bottom of the pan.
Make some whipped cream and set that aside…
The mix together some sugar, cream cheese and peanut butter.
Fold your whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until smooth and even and spread it over your crust…
Then if you WANT, drizzle it with chocolate syrup. I used the chocolate sauce I made HERE, but feel free to use any chocolate sauce you like.
Then chill it for about an hour and eat it.
It’s not pretty, but it’s delicious.

Oh my that looks amazing! And the sloppiest desserts are usually the best 🙂
Oh my that looks delicious! I’m definitely going to have to try that! 🙂
I am from New Zealand and have just recently stumbled across your scrummy website! This is awesome – we dont really bake this decadently over here – but I have printed off many of your recipes to try! YUM! Thanks so much for starting this site!
If looks could kill… well, uh, I’d be super dead because those drizzly pictures are gorgeous. Way better than some “perfect” cake slice. Whatev, gimme a spoon and let’s get dirty.
Me and the pie. Not me and you. Juuust wanted to clarify.
this looks amazing!! i love the simplicity of it and how “messy” it looks – it makes it look more authentic and something like you’d have as a childhood treat or something that you’d make with your mom…love your creativity with every dish!!
This is perfect for summer. There is nothing wrong with some messy pics (and these are NOT messy!!) – they’re gorgeous. But yes, the messiest/sloppiest food is usually the best.
Cream cheese, PB, Oreos, butter…awesomeness.
I feel slightly better knowing we’re not the only ones walking around like that at three in the afternoon. 🙂
Peanut butter pies are the best and this one looks delicious and simple!
Holy cow that looks amazing!!! Messy is how we like it here 😀
OK this look ridiculous…and delicious! Can’t wait to try it.
But one question (and I hope I’m not such a drip that I missed it) how much butter do you melt for the crust?
I
Oh gosh!! It’s a 1/4 cup of butter.. I will fix that in the recipe!
Thanks 🙂

I’m a pretty messy person in general so this pie is totally meant for me! I know it.
You really are trying to kill me. This…this…is amazing. The messier the better. Makes me feel better about my kid…my house… 🙂
My brain read that as “sloopy peanut butter pie” at first and I got excited thinking I found another buckeye football fan, getting ready for football season with a spirited peanut butter and chocolate treat inspired by the buckeye candies. But regardless, I still love this as a sloppy pie!
My mouth is watering. I would love to dig a spoon straight into this pie. It reminds me of my favorite oreo PB pie recipe, but I never make my own crust : )
I need to make this. I just gained 5 lbs
I love that this dessert is sloppy. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, your dessert comes out sloppy. This dessert doesn’t require perfection, but the combo of chocolate and PB are perfect in my mind!
I’m a huge slob so I’m all over anything with sloppy in the name. It looks so creamy! And I love that there’s no baking involved. And I love the drizzle on top!
I don’t even try with the perfect cake slice thing. I just cut a piece like normal and put it in a plate and call it a day. I admire the bloggers with perfect cake slices, but that’s just not me.
I actually think that looks great! Bet it tastes even better though 😀
I’d love to try this! Unfortunately, my boyfriend has a peanut butter hatred, so I’ll have to find some test subjects!
Perfect slices are so completely overrated! I’ll take some of this, please.
I so gave up on pretty pictures, things still taste good even if the picture looks crummy. But then again, I have like the crappiest camera ever, and that is my excuse.
This dessert looks plenty pretty to me! I don’t think you can go wrong with no-bake chocolate and peanut butter.
Also, you can get around any aesthetic issues by saying it’s “rustic.” 😉
My belly is still aching from the NYC sweet tour lol……..but I think I NEED this!! and you sold me at no bake!!
Definitely a keeper! And this doesn’t even look close to sloppy– beautiful pictures! As always 🙂 And I LOVE that glass bowl you have on your KA. I’m gonna have to go find that on Amazon right now!
Bring on the sloppy. This looks good enough to shove aside my rice cake and slop it on up 🙂
I need a spoon or shovel to dig in!
That is some gorgeous slop there. I’ll take a bowl full.
Thanks for making me drool all over my computer. I was sitting here, trying to get some work done… and then I come across this gorgeous, ridiculously decadent dessert.
yes–sloppy pies for the win! you make me feel better about my inability to get a perfect slice of anything 🙂
Oh My Word!! I need to unsubscribe for a bit while I am on my Weight Watchers program!! It is soooo tempting when I get the email notice to open it up!! Then I’m in trouble!!
as sloppy as it is, it still looks pretty! and it sounds amazing. oven shmoven, you make amazing treats even with limited resources!
OMG!! This looks “to die for”
OMG!that one looks yummie and creamy and absolutely.amazing!I’m a new follower:-) I hope you have a chance to visit my blog too.
cheers!
I have to make a conscious effort not to leave a comment that says, “NOM, NOM, NOM” when I come to your blog, lol!
Now that’s a stunner!
Messy food is sometimes the best – but this isn’t even messy, just delicious looking and it’s tempting me in a major way 🙂
Ok, I need this in front of me asap! Fabulous girl!! xoxo
The messiest desserts are the BEST desserts…all smooshy and melty…LOVE it!! And, my kids look very similar to your description most days…it’s even worse cause we Homeschool so they look that way alllll year LOL! On Sunday we got to church and my 4 year old (whose hair I DID comb) had a band aid stuck in her hair…seriously..
Can’t wait to make this…all for me and all over my pants 🙂
Oh my, this looks amazing!!
I can taste that pie by just looking at it. Yummy!!!!! thanks Suzanne
Shelly, you’re right. Sometimes you just need to cut loose and let things get a little sloppy. …and eat this pie while you’re doing it!
Shelly, your pictures are just gorgeous! And so is that pie, messy or not. Love!!
I can never get the perfect slice, just doesn’t work for me 🙂 So I am all over this. Forget about the chocolate and peanut butter amazingness!
This looks AMAZEballs. Whoa.
I think you just proved that “the sloppier the better” is an awfully good motto to live by. This looks darn good!
Messier is definitely better with this one. Holy cow YUM!!
Swoon!! I would take this Sloppy Peanut Butter Pie any day!! 🙂
Looooooooove this. I would totally eat it from the pan with a spoon.
Personally, I like messy better! And this is beautiful!!! Peanut Butter Pie is one of my favorite desserts ever!
This looks so good! I love PB 🙂
I want this so bad right now. Someone needs to invent one of those Star Trek food delivery systems!
My god, I wish I had a huge slice of this right now… it looks so freaking good!!!!!!!!!
Sloppy = finger-lickin’ good!
Just made these. Gotta say they were pretty good!! And fairly easy to make. Def manking these again! Thanks!!
Hi, I woluld like to know what is the measure for 1 pint? Thanks
1 pint equals 2 cups
Gracias !!! Lo intentare =]
I have been making a variation if this for about 12 years now and it is a home run EVERY time. If you are pressed for time you can also buy the chocolate graham cracker pie crust. Love this website. Keep them coming!
I accidentally bought the mint Jo Jos from Trader Joes, but it gave the dessert a nice holiday twist, and it went over really well at my family’s annual Christmas party!
How fun! I would have never thought pb and mint would work! I’ll have to try that!
I made this for my niece’s 13th birthday last September, and I am planning to make this again for Easter this year! It is so good and not a “sweet” dessert, it’s just heavenly! Thanks for this keeper recipe, I will be making it many more times as my family all loves it!
Sloppy or not, these pictures look amazing! Going to make this for the next family get together! Thanks for the recipe!
Made this lar night and it was beyond unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely a keeper forth recipe book. Could not have been better. It wasn’t hard to cut I used a spatula

Hi there,
it looks delicious. Does the buttercream makes it sweeter? Can i replace it with something else.
There is no buttercream in this recipe.
Sorry i ment peanut butter.
This is absolutely the BEST peanut butter pie! My family loves it! Thanks for the recipe
