Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
Optional topping: Chocolate syrup or peanut butter cups
Instructions
Combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.
Spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the peanut butter layer.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, top with chocolate syrup or chopped peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use 1/4 cup of cocoa powder mixed with the crushed Oreos before adding the butter.
If you do not have Oreos, you can substitute with a graham cracker crust recipe.
This pie sets best when chilled for a minimum of 6 hours, especially if you plan to serve a large crowd.
