Peanut Butter Pie
The Peanut Butter Pie features a crunchy Oreo cookie crust sealed with melted butter and a creamy filling of softened cream cheese and smooth peanut butter sweetened with powdered sugar. Lightened with softly whipped heavy cream folded into the peanut butter mixture, the filling sets in the refrigerator to a firm yet airy texture. Garnished with crushed peanuts or mini peanut butter cups and optional chocolate syrup or whipped cream, it balances rich, nutty flavor with sweet creaminess.

- To make the filling, add cream cheese and peanut butter to a medium mixing bowl and combine with a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and mix well.

Notes
- Include the cream filling when crushing Oreo cookies for sweeter crust texture.
- Do not use natural peanut butter, as it may separate and alter texture.
- Whipped cream may be swapped for whipped topping like Cool Whip to increase sweetness.
- Crust alternatives include chocolate or graham cracker crusts.
- Keep leftovers refrigerated in airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze single slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months.
- Recipe updated in 2023 for improved filling consistency.
