Ingredients
Crust
- 25 Oreo cookies
 - 4 tablespoons butter, melted
 
Filling
- 1 cup peanut butter
 - 8 ounces cream cheese (1 package), softened
 - 1 cup powdered sugar
 - 8 ounces whipped topping (1 tub), thawed
 
Toppings
- Whipped cream
 - Additional Oreo cookies
 - Chocolate chips
 
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs, resembling sand.
 - Combine crust ingredients: Add melted butter to the cookie crumbs and pulse just until the mixture comes together and is evenly coated.
 - Form the crust: Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create a compact crust layer.
 - Mix filling base: In a medium bowl, place the softened cream cheese and peanut butter; use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
 - Add sweetness: Whip in the powdered sugar with the mixer until fully combined and smooth.
 - Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula by hand, mixing just until everything is evenly combined without losing volume.
 - Assemble the pie: Pour the creamy filling into the prepared cookie crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
 - Chill the pie: Place the pie into the freezer for 2 hours to allow it to set firmly before serving.
 - Add toppings and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream, additional Oreo cookie pieces, and chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
 
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
 - Do not overmix the whipped topping to preserve a light texture.
 - You can substitute peanut butter with any nut butter to vary the flavor.
 - Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
 - For a firmer texture, chill the pie overnight instead of just 2 hours.
