Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreos
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipping cream)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Chopped peanuts (for topping)
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the 24 Oreos into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with the 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture evenly into a greased pie plate to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
- Make the filling: Beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ½ cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Top with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing.
- You can substitute Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies if preferred.
- Make sure to chill the pie well to help it hold its shape when sliced.
- Optionally garnish with additional whipped cream for extra richness.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
