  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

  • 1-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter like Skippy
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature, see note 1
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

US - Metric

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, blend whole Oreos into fine crumbs. Measure to make sure you have 1-3/4 cups, then add to a bowl. Add in the melted butter and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms and press that mixture into a pie pan. Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the peanut butter filling ingredients. Beat on low speed until smooth and fully combined. Don’t overmix or beat on high speed. Transfer the filling to the crust and smooth it into an even layer. Place in the freezer while making the topping.
  • Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to a heat-proof bowl. Heat the heavy cream for 30–60 seconds, until hot but not boiling. Pour the cream over the chocolate and peanut butter, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer and gently smooth into an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 1–3 hours.
  • Use a hot, sharp knife to slice the pie, running it under hot water and drying it with a towel first. Serve and return any leftovers to the fridge.
