Ingredients
For the Crust:
24 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or whipped heavy cream
For the Chocolate Ganache:
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy cream
Toppings (Optional):
Mini peanut butter cups, chopped
Chocolate shavings
Drizzle of melted peanut butter
Instructions
Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan and chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Gently fold in whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Make the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat heavy cream in the microwave until hot but not boiling (about 30 seconds).
Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to set.
Garnish with chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate shavings, or a peanut butter drizzle.
Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use graham crackers or chocolate graham crackers instead of Oreos for a different crust.
- Swap Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream (beat ¾ cup heavy cream + 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form).
- Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
