How to make peanut butter pie with Oreo crust

• Prep Time 15 minutes .
• Bake Time 10 minutes. Add Chill Time.
• Servings 8 .
• How to serve : Serve chilled as is or with whipped cream.
• Notes: You will need a 9 inch pie dish to make this recipe.

1. Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350f. Also, prep your pie dish for nonstick. A simple spray can work.
2. Crust. To make the crust, in a medium bowl or food processor, combine together the crushed cookies with the melted butter. When the mixture resembles 'sand' you can transfer it to your prepared dish and press them into dish to form the crust. I find that the backside of a tablespoon can help with this. Bake the crust for 10 minutes to set.
3. Cream. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese with the peanut butter until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl a few times.
4. Mix. Add the powdered sugar to the mixing bowl and beat until incorporated. Lastly, use a rubber spatula or similar item to fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fully combined.
5. Set. Evenly spread the mixture from the mixing bowl over the pie crust. Then refrigerate the pie until set (about four hours or so).
6. Serve. Before serving, in a microwave-safe bowl or cup, melt the chocolate chips, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until smooth and melted. Then use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the set peanut butter pie. Slice the pie as desired and serve.

Tips for making the best creamy peanut butter pie

The easiest way to crush your cookies is to use a food processor. Then you can simply pour the the melted butter into the food processor and pulse the ingredients until combined. If you are crushing by hand, you can place the cookies into a zip top bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies. Make sure that your crumbs are crushed fine so that they can hold the crust together.

More helpful tips for you.

1. While you may be tempted to use 'Double Stuffed' or another variety, Classic Oreo cookies work best for the crust and give the perfect chocolate cookie flavor.
2. Make sure that your crust has fully set and cooled before adding the filling. Adding the filling to a warm crust can make it soft, or even melt it, preventing the pie from setting properly as a result.
3. I find that it is really best to give the pie at least four hours to set in the refrigerator. This allows the filling to fully set before slicing. For cleaner slices, let the pie chill overnight or place it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before serving. Wipe the knife clean between each slice as well.

How to store Peanut Butter Pie.

This pie should be covered with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, it should keep refrigerated for up to four days or frozen for up to a month (I would wrap the covered pie in foil). You can transfer a frozen pie to the refrigerator and let it thaw for several hours or overnight before serving.
