Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 25 whole Oreo cookies (finely pulsed)
- ½ cup melted salted butter
Filling
- 1 ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream (high fat, cold)
Topping
- Chocolate shavings (for topping)
- Optional: chopped peanuts, melted chocolate drizzle, pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix the finely pulsed Oreo cookies with the melted salted butter until all crumbs are coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of your pie dish, using the bottom of a glass to smooth it evenly. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally to remove lumps. Add the smooth peanut butter and pure vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined into a silky filling.
- Add powdered sugar and whip cream: Gradually mix in the sifted powdered sugar on low speed to keep the filling smooth and creamy. Then pour in the cold heavy whipping cream; start mixing on low until just combined, then whip on high speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and holds soft peaks. Be cautious not to over-whip.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the fluffy peanut butter mixture over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for garnish. Optionally, add chopped peanuts, drizzle melted chocolate, or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Do not over-whip the heavy cream to avoid curdling the filling.
- Press crust mixture firmly for a sturdy base that holds the filling well.
- Refrigeration time is key for setting the pie and enhancing flavors.
- This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
