Ingredients

• 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 cups Whipped topping (or whipped heavy cream)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Peanuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 7

Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared cookie crust and spread it evenly. Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate ganache topping. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 9

Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

Pour the cooled ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly to cover the top of the pie. Return the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 additional hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings, if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and decadent chocolate peanut butter pie!
