Ingredients

Scale
  • 24–28 Oreo cookies (with filling)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 16 oz creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 oz milk chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor or in a sealed bag using a rolling pin until finely ground.
  2. Mix crushed cookies with melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Add peanut butter and mix until combined and fluffy.
  6. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until lump-free and creamy.
  7. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  9. Pour the ganache into the center of the pie and spread gently, leaving a ring of peanut butter visible around the edges.
  10. Chill the pie for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  11. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and taste.
  • Avoid natural peanut butter as it may cause separation.
  • Chill the pie overnight for clean slicing.
  • Microwave chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning.
  • Sprinkle toppings like sea salt, nuts, or candies before ganache sets.
