I made these a couple of weeks ago for my best friend’s baby shower. YUM! So easy and a total crowd pleaser. I stuck a mini spoon in each cup and embellished the cups to match the theme. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

See how I did that? That was me melting into an ocean of peanut butter pie filling.
I know a lot of people don’t love showers, of the gifting variety, but I love babies and I love baby showers. All 3 that I’ve ever been to, anyways. My best friend is having a baby (squee!) so this weekend we threw a little baby shindig for her soon-to-be newborn baby boy.
To honor his precious life, we shot cutesy peanut butter pie shooters, which sounds way more trashy than it was. It was more classy. More like licked desserts out of mini glasses and ate the Oreo crumbs off the floor. And then sniffed candy bars melted into diapers for a prize. Why is that fun?
In my perfect world, I would pay someone to massage my scalp with one of those little head scratcher thingies that looks like a stick with wire legs while I ate, took, shot, inhaled, licked shooters of peanut butter pie filling.
Then I would pay that someone not to tell anyone about how my face smelled like cream cheese, or about the Oreo crumbles in my hair, or about the way I’d intentionally put less filling in each shooter glass so I’d have extra to lick out of the bowl. And on second thought, I wouldn’t pay them, because it would be my perfect world.
Going now.
Peanut Butter Pie Shooters
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 20 1x
Description
These peanut butter pie shooters are SO addicting and perfect for parties! They are also extremely easy to make. Serious win!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese (can use reduced fat)
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (or whipped cream)
- 16 Oreos, crushed
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and beat until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Fold in whipped cream, or add liquid heavy whipping cream and continue to beat until the mixture gets a little bit fluffy. Refrigerate mixture until ready to serve.
- Stir melted butter in with crushed Oreos and press 1 teaspoon crumbs into the bottoms of dessert shooter cups. Pour peanut butter mixture into a plastic baggie, snip the corner, and pipe into the cups (on top of the crumbs). Sprinkle the tops with another 1/2 teaspoon of crumbs. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra sweet-salty combo. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Peanut Butter Pie will thicken as it sits in the refrigerator. I actually prefer to eat these after they’ve been in the fridge overnight.

PS. They’re actually called scalp massagers (thanks Goog), and you should get one. You should also get those dessert shooter glasses. I got mine here.
I make this into a pie by using a premade Oreo crust… it’s my favorite dessert ever!!
OMG these are so good! I used the cool whip option instead of heavy whipping cream and they were amazing! I doubled the recipe because we were using larger cups and they were a huge hit at a house warming party.
I like the sounds of this recipe. I’m not actually seeing what size cups you are using. I have 3 oz square cups, about 3” tall. I’m thinking this recipe won’t fill the 20 cups that I need. It’s difficult to gage. But I’m going to try.
How would you transport these?
Great question! Transporting them in a box should work just fine. Maybe loosely cover the bunch with plastic wrap, and if there is any extra room in the box, fill in the space with kitchen towels so they don’t slide around.
Excellent and simple! Made these for my oldest daughter’s high school graduation party. So delicious that my other daughter requested them for her graduation! We served quite a spread but these were by far the biggest hit with everyone.
Awesome, Edie! We love hearing that!
So Adorable…
Hi! Can I put these in the freezer for 3-4 days, and pull them out the morning of?
Made these for a housewarming/Christmas party December 2017 and they were a big hit. I arranged them on a glass cake stand. To save clean up time I purchased tall plastic shot glasses and stuck in mini silver spoons both purchased from Dollar Tree and they looked great! In fact, they looked so nice a party goer didn’t know she could throw the shot glass away when she was finished! Yummy!
Do you have any idea how early you can make the filling??
We are looking to serve something like this for our wedding.
I would say you could make it a day or two in advance!
I’m making these for my niece’s bridal shower and she’s so excited! I got your same shot glasses (so cute!), and I’m wondering if by “serves 20” that means that one recipe batch will fill 20 glasses…
Thanks!
Look so yummy! Going to make for my women’s club picnic. How many days in advance can I make?
Hi, Cynthia! You could make this up to a few days in advance, but just be aware that it will thicken in the fridge. When taking it out of the fridge, I would leave it at room temp for a little while so it’s easier to work with and spoon out into small cups. I would also suggest waiting to assemble the small cups until closer to the time you serve them. Otherwise, the oreos could end up soggy if they’re in the fridge for a few days. Hope that helps!
Yes, that’s helps a lot. Instead of Oreos, I’m going to use crushed chocolate graham crackers. 🙂 Can’t wait to make them!
Hello
I have just made this recipe after finding it on pintrest. I didn’t have enough glasses to make 20 so I Ha e lots of the peanut butter mix left. Wi it freeze do you think? Or any other suggestions on how to use it?
Thank you
Best option: eat it! 🙂 We never tried freezing the peanut butter mix, but my guess is that it would work. Otherwise, (depending on how much you have) you could use it as the bottom layer in some sort of cream pie or chocolate cream pie… I’m thinking oreo crust, layer of peanut butter mix, and then layer of french silk pie filling. Yumm. 🙂
Is it possible to use crunchy peanut butter?
Heck yes! Love crunchy.
I love these nearly as much as I love Mahmood!!!!
ive never really been a peanut butter fan but this was heaven.. eeeep ;D
This defo is a great recipe.. 😀
Hello! These are beautiful and with those ingredients, I can’t imagine they don’t taste amazing. I’m planning to make them for a party I’m hosting on Thursday night, but I’ll be breaking that age-old advice to not try anything new for company (I actually ignore that rule on a regular basis). Anyhow, I’d like to make these ahead of time… any special considerations on keeping them in the fridge overnight? Should I wait to do the last sprinkling of cookie crumbs until right before serving to keep them from being soggy? Or will they just tumble right off of the cold choc-pb mousse? Any advice would be helpful.
Yep – you got it! The crumbs get soggy so I would wait on those. Also, don’t do any whipped cream on top or anything because that often falls apart. 🙂
Thanks!!
This is my absolute FAV!!!! Make it often
Hello,
I want to try the recipe but I am a little worried that it would turn out too sweet. The peanut butter is already sweet+ the sweetened condensed milk+ the powdered sugar. Was the outcome too sweet?
Not for me! 🙂
I’m definitely giving these a try! Just wanted to let you know that when I went to print these, the cupcake photo shows up instead of a photo of the peanut butter pie shooters.
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Weird, thanks for letting me know. I’ll check into it. Hope you like the shooters! They’re so yummy!!
