Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Peanut Butter Filling
- 3/4 up heavy cream* 33-35% MF
- 8 oz cream cheese full-fat, brick-style
- 1 cup peanut butter*
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To Serve
- 1/2 cup heavy cream cream
- peanut butter candies
Instructions
Oreo Crust
- Crush the Oreo cookies* in a food processor. Or place in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Mix together the crushed cookies and melted butter.
- Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
- Place in the fridge as you make the filling.
Peanut Butter Filling
- Beat the 3/4 cup heavy cream until it's whipped cream and stiff peaks form - set aside.
- In a large bowl beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until the mixture looks even and smooth.
- Spoon over the Oreo crust and spread the top smooth.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 6 hours, or overnight.
To Serve
- Beat the heavy cream until peaks form and spread over top of the peanut butter pie.
- Sprinkle with candies.
- Slice the pie using a thin, sharp knife - being sure to cut through the crust at the bottom.
Notes
- Heavy cream in the peanut butter filling can be replaced with an 8-oz container of thawed Cool Whip. Skip step 1 in making the peanut butter filling. Use additional Cool Whip for the topping (optional).
- Do not use homemade, natural or crunchy peanut butter. It can cause the pie to be too oily, not sweet enough, and/or separate.
- Store leftovers in covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. This pie is the perfect recipe to make the day before - add the whipped cream topping before serving. Pie can be covered and frozen for up to 2 months. Serve frozen, or thaw overnight in the fridge. Add the whipped cream topping before serving.
- Nutrition information is based on 1 slice with whipped cream topping (but without candies), assuming the pie is sliced into 10 equal pieces.
