Ingredients
For the Crust:
25 Oreo Cookies
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Ganache:
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 Tablespoon butter
For the Filling:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 cup (4 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Begin with the crust by blending Oreos in a food processor until finely chopped. Gradually add melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze while preparing the filling.
- For the ganache, place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Heat the whipping cream and butter in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour over the chocolate, let stand for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar for the filling until well-combined. Fold in the whipped topping and spoon into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill the pie for 30 minutes, then pour the cooled ganache over the filling. Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours before serving.
Notes
For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in hot water before cutting.
Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
