Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Whipped cream, for topping
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and blend until they turn into fine crumbs.
Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until the mixture is evenly combined and looks sandy.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until it is fully incorporated and light.
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until steaming, about 30-40 seconds.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring until smooth to create a ganache.
Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream, chopped peanuts, and optional chocolate shavings for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled.
