Ingredients

Oreo Crust
  • 2 cups Oreo cookies about 20 Oreo Cookies, crushed into crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
Peanut Butter Filling
  • 16 ounces crunchy peanut butter or creamy is fine, stay away from all natural peanut butter for best results, though I have used no-stir natural peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar also called confectioner's sugar
Chocolate Ganache Topping
  • 7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate prefer chocolate bars such as Ghirardelli or Bakers chocolate bars; good chocolate chips may be used in a pinch
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature

Instructions

Oreo Cookie Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C) - baking the crust is an optional step, but will help the crust hold together when serving. If not baking, freeze the crust for 30 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
  2. Break Oreos with your hand and place in bowl of food processor. pulse the Oreos (20 Oreos) to crumbs (or smash with a rolling in a plastic bag). Place in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter (4 tablespoons) until mixed. Press evenly in the tart pan, pressing down the crust firmly, using a measuring cup, or the backside of a tablespoon.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes. Set aside. If you prefer a no-bake crust, refrigerate or freeze it for 30 minutes.
Peanut Butter Filling
  1. Combine Peanut Butter (16 ounces) and powdered sugar (1 ¼ cups) in a medium bowl. Stir using a spoon or spatula or a hand mixer until completely smooth and mixed with the powdered sugar.Working with the Peanut Butter may be easier if you warm it in the microwave oven (30 seconds at a time until before mixing in the Confectioners’ Sugar). Place pie in fridge or freezer while you prepare the ganache.
Ganache Topping
  1. Melt (7 ounces) Chocolate and (1/2 cup) butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering pot of water, creating a double boiler (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted, combined and smooth, then spoon in and spread over the Peanut Butter layer.
  2. Chill for 30 minutes until firm or longer. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Warm a sharp knife in hot water, and dry well with paper towel. To remove the pie from the tart pan, place pan on hand or on smaller sturdy cake pedestal and allow outer ring to drop.
  • Slice small pieces as this is a rich and decadent pie; if desired, serve with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and some chopped dry roasted peanuts. 
  • Refrigerate - Make this dessert ahead for a party or store the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to four days.
  • How to Freeze - This is an excellent dessert to freeze and save for later! Place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes, then tightly wrap the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer the slices to freezer-safe plastic bags and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and enjoy the next day!
  • Gluten-Free | Replace the Oreos with Gluten-Free Oreos and make sure the rest of your ingredients are gluten-free
  • Dairy-Free Vegan| Replace the butter with a plant-based butter substitute; Oreos are naturally vegan.
  • Add a layer of Reese’s peanut butter cups for an even more chocolatey and peanut butter treat.
