Ingredients
  

  • 24 Oreos
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Chopped peanuts, for topping
  • Chocolate syrup, optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • food processor or rolling pin
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch pie plate

Method
 

  1. Crush the Oreos finely using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until fully combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a greased pie plate to form the crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add peanut butter, remaining powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.
  6. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust.
  7. Top with chopped peanuts, chocolate pieces, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.
  8. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture. Fold the whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy. Chill thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts. Customize the toppings with peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of syrup for any occasion.
