Ingredients
For the Ganache:
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Crust:
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted (divided)
For the Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 8 Reese’s peanut butter cups, full size (chopped)
Instructions
- Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Add chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Crust: Blend Oreo and Nutter Butter cookies until finely ground. Add 3 tablespoons melted butter to each set of crumbs and mix. Press into a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze the crust to set.
- Make the Filling: Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip gently to maintain fluffiness.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread peanut butter filling over the chilled crust. Pour the ganache over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
Notes
- For an extra crunch, add chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels to the crust.
- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Homemade whipped cream works as a Cool Whip substitute for a fresher taste.
