Ingredients
- Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (like Oreos)
- Melted Unsalted Butter
- Creamy Peanut Butter
- Full-Fat Cream Cheese, Softened
- Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
- Vanilla Extract
- Heavy Cream
- Good Quality Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Chopped
- More Heavy Cream
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Chocolate Shavings, Chopped Peanuts, or a Peanut Butter Drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies until they are fine crumbs. Melt the unsalted butter and combine it with the cookie crumbs until thoroughly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and refrigerate.
- Create the Chocolate Cream Layer: Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers, then pour it over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter filling.
- Chill and Finish: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. Prepare the whipped cream topping by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the pie and garnish as desired.
