Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Optional Topping: Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or mini peanut butter cups
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. You need about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
Mix the crust: Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth.
Add sugar and vanilla: Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fill the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
Serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or chopped peanut butter cups. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
This pie sets best when chilled for a full 6 hours or more. It is a great make-ahead dessert.
