Directions

2. Mix the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with melted butter, stirring until the mixture is evenly coated.
3. Press into pan: Press the Oreo crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure the crust is even and packed tightly.
4. Chill the crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling to allow it to set.

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

1. Mix the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the peanut butter: Beat in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
3. Sweeten the mixture: Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
5. Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

For the Topping:

1. Top the pie: Spread an additional layer of whipped topping over the peanut butter filling.
2. Garnish: Sprinkle the top with crushed Oreos for a crunchy finish and a pop of extra flavor.

Chill:

1. Refrigerate: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to set and the pie to firm up.
2. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, peanut-buttery goodness!

Expert Tips & Customizations

• Chill Time Is Key: Allow the pie to chill fully to let the filling set properly. If you’re in a rush, 4 hours is sufficient, but overnight is best for optimal texture.
• Crush the Oreos Well: The crust is a key element of this pie, so make sure the Oreo crumbs are fine and evenly mixed with butter for a solid base.
• Adjust Sweetness: If you like your pie a little less sweet, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the filling by half.

FAQs

Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead of time. It needs several hours to chill and firm up, making it an ideal make-ahead dessert for parties or gatherings.

Can I freeze this pie?

Yes! You can freeze the pie for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving.

Can I use a different type of nut butter?
