Notes
- Peanut Butter Pie Oreos – Can’t find them? Use Nutter Butters instead or you can also use regular Oreos to make a chocolate cookie crust.
- If you overbake it, it will crack on top. So, be sure to take it out of the oven when it’s not quite set in the center. It will be just a little wobbly.
- It can also crack while it cools if the crust is stuck to the pan. That’s why I like to run a knife around the edge as soon as it comes out of the oven. It will prevent this from happening.
- For this recipe, you don’t need a water bath.
- No, let it cool for an hour or so at room temperature before you chill it.
