Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreos, finely crushed)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Warm chocolate or caramel drizzle (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix again until creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  • Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  • Before serving, spread or pipe whipped cream over the top. Garnish with chopped peanuts, chocolate drizzle, or crushed cookies for a festive finish.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture. Make sure whipped cream is stiff before folding it in, and don’t overmix. Chill for at least 4 hours — overnight is even better. Garnish just before serving for a fresh look. Add sea salt flakes for an elegant touch.
