Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups quick oats
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk

Peanut Butter Icing:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp water or milk

Optional:

  • Chocolate sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Pan: Grease a 9-inch pie pan and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure the cookie dough crust bakes evenly without sticking.
  2. Make Cookie Dough: Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using a mixer. This creates a smooth base for the cookie dough.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract thoroughly until combined. This adds richness and flavor to your dough.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the quick oats, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until well combined without overmixing to keep the texture tender.
  5. Stir in Mix-ins: Fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. Set aside once done.
  6. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. This forms the rich cheesecake layer.
  7. Add Egg and Milk to Cheesecake: Beat in the egg and milk until fully incorporated for a silky texture.
  8. Form Cookie Dough Crust: Press about three-quarters of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie pan including up the sides. This creates a sturdy base for the pie.
  9. Add Cheesecake Layer: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie dough crust, smoothing out the top.
  10. Top With Remaining Cookie Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the cheesecake layer; this will bake into a delicious topping.
  11. Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle additional M&Ms on top for color and extra sweetness.
  12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecake layer is set and cookie dough on top is golden.
  13. Chill: Remove from oven and refrigerate the pie until firm, at least 2 hours, to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
  14. Prepare Peanut Butter Icing: Cream the butter until smooth, then add peanut butter and mix thoroughly.
  15. Add Powdered Sugar: Mix in the powdered sugar until the icing is smooth.
  16. Adjust Consistency: Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk as needed to reach piping consistency.
  17. Decorate: Pipe the peanut butter icing around the edges of the cooled pie for a decorative and flavorful finish.
  18. Serve: Optionally drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving for an extra decadent touch.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the pie after baking to ensure the cheesecake layer sets properly.
  • Use quick oats for the best texture in the cookie dough crust.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter for a different flavor.
  • Store the pie refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimum freshness.
  • Let the pie come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
