Ingredients
  

Oreo Crust

  • 24 Oreo sandwich cookies (do not remove the cream filling)
  • 5 Tablespoons butter, melted (salted or unsalted) 70 g

Peanut Butter Pie Filling

  • 12 oz cream cheese (brick-style, not the "spreadable" kind sold in tubs) softened 340 g
  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter 375 g
  • 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar, divided 280 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream 355 ml

For Whipped Cream Topping (optional)

  • ¾ cup heavy cream 175 ml
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar 30 g
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons crushed Reese's Pieces for decorating optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your pie crust first by placing Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulsing until nothing but fine crumbs remain
  • Add melted butter and pulse until well-combined.
  • Pour cookie crumb/butter mixture into the bottom of a 9 ½" pie pan.  Use the back of a spoon or the clean flat bottom of a measuring cup to evenly, firmly press crumbs into the bottom and sides of pie pan.
  • Place in freezer while you assemble your filling.
  • In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter.  Use an electric mixer to stir until well-combined.
  • Gradually add 1 cup (125g) of powdered sugar, stirring until completely combined.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour 1 ½ cups heavy cream in a separate, medium-sized, clean bowl.  Add remaining 1 ¼ cup (155g) of powdered sugar, and use an electric mixer to beat, starting on low-speed and gradually increasing to high, until stiff peaks are achieved (mixture should be thick, fluffy, and resemble Cool Whip, see image in post or video for a visual).
  • Add whipped cream into peanut butter mixture and stir gently, but as well as you can using a spatula. Switch to your electric mixer on low and use that to briefly stir until the ingredients are well-combined and smooth (don't over-mix).
  • Spread peanut butter filling evenly into prepared pie crust and refrigerate covered for 4-6 hours (preferably overnight), or freeze¹, covered, for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Prepare whipped cream shortly before serving (if using).
  • Before serving the pie, combine ¾ cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a clean medium-sized bowl.
  • Use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed.  Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread whipped topping over the center of the pie, or to be more decorative you can transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 2D Wilton piping tip or similar and pipe a decorative ring around the edge of the pie.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!  Since this pie is a no-bake one, keep it in the refrigerator or freezer when not enjoying because it loses its firmness quickly at room temperature.
