Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Place 24 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Melt 6 tbsp unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds until melted, then combine with crushed Oreos and stir until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz cream cheese and 3/4 cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Step 4: Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Step 5: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 cup heavy cream, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Step 6: Fold half of the chocolate ganache into the peanut butter mixture gently until swirled, then pour the filling into the chilled crust.
- Step 7: Drizzle the remaining chocolate ganache over the top, creating a marbled effect. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm before serving.
