Description
A rich, creamy peanut butter pie with a crunchy Oreo crust and silky chocolate ganache—easy to make, impressive to serve, and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 22 regular Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold (for filling)
- 8 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
- 1 and 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 1/4 cup Reese’s Pieces, crushed (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Process the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into a pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream until it boils and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and let it cool to room temperature.
- Beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
- Spread the peanut butter filling over the cooled crust and top with the chocolate ganache.
- Chill the pie for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, crushed Reese’s Pieces, or chopped peanuts if you like.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling. Chill overnight for best texture. Adjust sugar for sweetness. Try crushed cookies or candies inside the filling. Swap crust or chocolate to customize.
