Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos, finely crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed, e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, mix the finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the peanut butter filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, and beat again until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 3: Fold in the whipped topping. Using a spatula, gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the pie. Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, then place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
Step 5: Prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove the ganache from heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes, until slightly thickened but still pourable.
Step 6: Add the ganache topping. Pour the cooled chocolate ganache over the chilled peanut butter filling, gently spreading it to the edges for an even layer.
Step 7: Chill and serve. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2 hours, or until the ganache is set. Slice and serve cold. Optional: Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped peanuts for an extra touch.
