Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping, plus extra for garnish
- 8 peanut butter cups, chopped
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- Extra whipped topping and a whole Oreo cookie for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Crust
Process Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and blend until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set. - Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping, followed by the chopped peanut butter cups. - Assemble the Pie
Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. - Add the Finishing Touches
Before serving, drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the top of the pie. Garnish with extra whipped topping and a whole Oreo cookie for a decorative touch.
Tips for the Perfect Pie
- Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: This ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Chilling is Key: Allowing the pie to chill for the full 2 hours helps it set properly and makes slicing easier.
- Extra Crunch: Sprinkle chopped peanuts or additional Oreo crumbs on top for added texture.
