Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 1/3 cups Oreo crumbs (or crushed chocolate wafers)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter

For the Filling

  • 250 gram block cream cheese
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup whipping cream

For the Topping

  • 1/4 cup melted dark chocolate (garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (garnish)
  • flaked sea salt (garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9" pie plate. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl, stir together, and firmly and evenly press the crust into the prepared pie plate along the bottom and up the sides. Try using a glass with a flat bottom for best results. Bake for 7-8 minutes and carefully remove from the oven. Set aside to cool.

  2. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smoooth. Add the peanut butter, vanilla and sugar and continue to beat until smooth.

  3. In a separate medium bowl with high sides beat the whipping cream on high until it forms stiff peaks (careful not to over-beat it). Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and transfer the mixture into the prepared crust. Using a rubber spatula, smooth the filling into an even layer in the crust.

  4. Chill the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight (carefully covered with wrap if more than a couple hours). When ready to serve, drizzle the top with the melted chocolate, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and the flaked salt and serve chilled.
