Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (8-ounce) block low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (be sure that it’s very well stirred)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- whipped cream, chocolate shavings, crumbled Oreos, chopped Reese’s, etc
Method
Prep the pan. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
Make the crust. Tip in the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Spoon the butter and salt evenly over the cookies and pulse until evenly combined and moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate using your fingers and/or the bottom of a measuring cup. Move the crust to the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Whip the cream. In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Move the whipped cream to a separate bowl and keep nearby. (No need to wipe down the bowl.)
Make the filling. Tip in the cream cheese, peanut butter, vanilla extract and salt to the same bowl of the stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Tip in the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined. Tip in 1 cup of the whipped cream and beat on low speed until mostly combined. Turn the mixer off and gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream by hand, using a spatula, until most of the white streaks have disapp
Chill. Tip the filling into the prepared Oreo crust and spread it out evenly, using a spoon or spatula to create some light swirls on top if you’d like. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
Plate Slice and serve, topped with your desired toppings if you’d like, and enjoy!
