Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos, crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
- 0.25 cup Peanuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Pour in the melted butter and pulse again until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
Make the peanut butter filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, a little at a time, until the filling is light and fluffy.
Assemble the pie: Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pie back in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Make the chocolate ganache: In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the ganache over the chilled peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings on top for decoration.
Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the ganache is set. Slice and serve cold. Enjoy!
