Ingredients

• 24 pieces Oreo cookies
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0 chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts (amount not specified)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreo cookies until they are fine crumbs. Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and pulse until combined.
3. Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
6. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 8 ounces of cream cheese, and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
7. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well combined. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the chilled chocolate layer.
8. In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
9. Spread the whipped cream over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts before serving, if desired (amount not specified).
