Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies or similar chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter not natural
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping such as Cool Whip, thawed
Optional Toppings
  • Mini peanut butter cups chopped
  • Drizzle of melted chocolate or ganache
  • Crushed peanuts or cookie crumbs

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • 9-inch Pie Dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Rubber Spatula

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and pulse to combine. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until fully combined. Fold in whipped topping with a spatula until no streaks remain. Spoon into crust and smooth the top.
  3. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Top with peanut butter cups, chocolate drizzle, or crushed peanuts before serving. Slice with a sharp knife and serve chilled.

Notes

Avoid natural peanut butter as it can cause the filling to separate. For homemade whipped cream, beat to stiff peaks. For more chocolate flavor, spread a melted chocolate layer over the crust before adding the filling. You can also use a store-bought crust to save time.
