Ingredients

  • For the Chocolate Pie Crust:
  • 24 Oreo cookies regular, not double-stuffed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • For the Peanut Butter Filling:
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Toppings:
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup optional
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch syrup optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
    Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form.
    In a small bowl, mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined.
    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.
    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
    Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
    In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
    Add peanut butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then beat until creamy and well blended. Scrape down the sides as needed.
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula.
    Spoon the filling into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly.
    Garnish & Chill:
    Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. If desired, drizzle with chocolate and/or butterscotch syrup.
    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or freeze for a firmer texture.

Notes

For the Best Texture: Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving or freeze for a firmer consistency.
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator or freezer. Leftovers should be stored in the fridge.
Homemade Whipped Cream: This pie uses fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a richer flavor.
Serving Tip: Serve chilled from the fridge for a creamy texture or frozen for a firmer, ice-cream-like dessert.
