Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (14.3 oz) package whole Oreos (about 36 Oreos)
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
Peanut Butter Filling
- 8 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Finely crush the Oreos using a food processor, blender, or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the Oreo crumbs with 8 tablespoons of melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Freeze the crust for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, add the remaining 8 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the pie to the freezer.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: Place the chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter in a heat-proof bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the peanut butter layer. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set and ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh Oreos for crust to ensure crispiness.
- Ensure butter is softened to blend smoothly with peanut butter.
- The pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld.
- To make slicing easier, chill thoroughly before serving.
- Optional: garnish with chopped peanuts or whipped cream for extra texture and presentation.
