Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreo crumbs, without filling)
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter (preferably natural or smooth for best texture)
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream, cold
- ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
- Chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Crush cookies finely in a food processor or place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish to form the crust.
- Place crust in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
- Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand or stand mixer.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula, taking care not to deflate the cream.
- Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the pie and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top just before serving.
