Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for chocolate drizzle)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. 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.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Create the topping swirl: Microwave the remaining 1/2 cup of peanut butter for 15-20 seconds until slightly runny. Drizzle it over the top of the pie. If making a chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate chips with the optional oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
Serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream or chopped peanut butter cups if desired. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For an extra decadent topping, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for a smooth, shiny chocolate ganache to pour over the top before chilling.
If you do not have Oreos, you can substitute with 1 3/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup of sugar and 6 tablespoons of melted butter for the crust.
This pie sets best when chilled for a minimum of 6 hours.
