Crust
- 24 Oreos
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Chopped peanuts, for topping
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreos finely and mix them thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased pie plate. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to properly set.
- Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set this whipped cream aside for folding later.
- Make the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter, remaining ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix well until fully combined.
- Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in batches until the filling is smooth and fluffy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped peanuts generously over the filling, and optionally drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra flavor and decoration.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, you can increase the peanut butter to ¾ cup.
- If chocolate syrup is used, choose a high-quality brand or homemade for the best flavor.
- This pie is best served within 2-3 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
- To crush Oreos easily, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or food processor.
