Creamy peanut butter

Directions

Make the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the refrigerator.
Make the chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 1–2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling and spread evenly.
Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Slice and serve chilled.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought Oreo crust?

Yes, a store-bought Oreo crust will work, but a homemade version has a fresher flavor and a thicker, more satisfying texture.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely. This pie is ideal for making ahead since it needs to chill for several hours to set properly.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Yes, just make sure it’s whipped to stiff peaks so it holds up in the filling.

Is this pie overly sweet?

It’s rich and sweet, but the dark chocolate topping and tangy cream cheese help balance the sweetness.

What type of peanut butter works best?

Creamy, shelf-stable peanut butter works best. Natural peanut butter can separate and affect the texture.

Can I make this pie gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies or a gluten-free crust alternative.

Will the pie set properly without gelatin?

Yes, the cream cheese and whipped topping provide enough structure to help the pie hold its shape.

Can I add a chocolate drizzle on top?

Definitely. Drizzle with melted chocolate or chocolate syrup before serving for added flair.

Can I use milk chocolate chips?

Yes, but milk chocolate will make the topping sweeter. Adjust according to your preference.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
