Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 pieces Oreos (or chocolate sandwich cookies) Use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies for a gluten-free option.
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted Unsalted butter can be used with a pinch of salt instead.
For the filling
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Must be cold for best whipping results.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Room temperature ensures a lump-free filling.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sift if it’s clumpy.
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Natural peanut butter can be used but may alter texture and sweetness.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Balances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until you have fine crumbs.
  2. Stream the melted butter into the processor while pulsing until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust tightly.
  4. Freeze the crust for 30 minutes to set.
Making the filling
  1. Pour the cold heavy cream into a large bowl and whip with a mixer to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese in a clean bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  3. Add the powdered sugar gradually and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the peanut butter and vanilla, mixing until combined and silky.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain using a rubber spatula.
  6. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Final assembly
  1. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  2. Slice and serve with toppings of your choice.
