A rich and silky chocolate peanut butter pie with a crunchy Oreo crust, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 1/2 cups crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin until you have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  2. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until all crumbs are coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  7. Melt the chopped semisweet chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  8. Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly but not harden.
  9. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with granulated sugar (if using) until medium peaks form.
  10. Fold a quarter of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest of the cream until well combined and silky.
  11. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
  12. Spoon or pipe the chocolate silk topping over the peanut butter layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  13. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set properly and flavors to meld.
  14. Before serving, smooth any unevenness gently.
  15. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry for clean cuts. Enjoy!

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter for smooth filling. Crush Oreos finely but keep some texture. Melt chocolate slowly to avoid seizing. Whip cream to medium peaks and fold gently to keep airy texture. Chill pie overnight for best results. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sandwich cookies.
