Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 package Oreos (14.3 oz / 36 cookies)
  • 7 Tbsp (98g) unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup (270g) creamy peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 Tbsp (89 ml) heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • Reese’s peanut butter cups, some cut in half and others chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crust: Process the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs remain. In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and mix well. Press this mixture evenly into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan using the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust firmly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together using an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Add the thawed Cool Whip and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Spread this creamy filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return the pie to the refrigerator to chill while making the ganache.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small pot over low heat, warm the heavy whipping cream until it is just about to boil (small bubbles forming around the edges). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the chocolate. Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until the ganache is smooth and glossy. Let it cool to room temperature before pouring it over the pie.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the cooled ganache over the peanut butter filling and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top. Before the ganache hardens, arrange the halved Reese’s peanut butter cups around the edges of the pie, spacing them according to your preference. Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups over the center of the pie for extra texture and decoration.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the pie with tinfoil and place it in the refrigerator or freezer for 1 to 2 hours to allow the filling and ganache to set firmly. Before serving, if frozen, remove the pie and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Using softened cream cheese ensures a smooth, creamy filling.
  • Chilling the crust and filling before adding ganache helps the layers set distinctly.
  • Allowing the ganache to cool before pouring prevents it from melting the filling underneath.
  • If the ganache thickens too much, gently warm it slightly to regain pourable consistency.
  • Letting the pie sit after freezing helps with easier slicing and better texture.
