Peanut Butter Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • This recipe is not hard, but since it has a few layers I recommend reading through the entire recipe, including the tips and tricks, before starting.

Oreo Cookie Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray pie pan with light coating of baking spray.
  • Place the oreos and the melted butter in a food processor (affiliate) and process until the cookies are fine crumbs. 
  • To form the oreo crust, dump ⅔ of the crumbs in the bottom of a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Using your fingers or a tamper (affiliate), press the crumbs firmly into the side.
  • Finish by filling the bottom with the remaining crumbs and tamping them down across the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

Peanut Butter Sauce

  • Melt the ingredients for the ganache together in a heat-proof bowl and stir until combined. Spread across the bottom of the cooled pie crust.

Chocolate Pie Filling

  • Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and stir. Simmer whisking constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk every 30 seconds for 5 minutes to help the filling cool more quickly.
  • Pour over the top of the peanut butter ganache. Cover the top of the pie with plastic wrap to prevent the pudding from developing a skin. Refrigerate until completely cool.

Peanut Butter Whipped Cream

  • Once the pie has cooled completely it’s time to make the whip cream. To a very cold medium bowl, add all the ingredients. Using the whisk attachment of either a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip until soft peaks form.
  • Spread the peanut butter cream over the top of the pie, decorate with desired toppings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Tips & Tricks
  • Place the crust on a cookie sheet before placing it the oven for easy removal.
  • Don’t undercook the filling - it will be too runny.
  • Use a very cold bowl for the whip cream.
  • Make sure the pie is cold before serving. If there is any warmth left in the filling it will not hold it's shape when cut and could melt the peanut putter whipped cream on top.
 
Toppings Ideas
  • Chocolate curls
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Hot fudge sauce drizzled across the top
  • Melted peanut butter melted and drizzled over.
  • Reeses brand ice cream topping
  • Peanut butter chips
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chopped Reese's peanut butter cups
Make Ahead 
This pie is best made one day ahead but not sooner or the crust gets too soft. 
Storing
This pie needs to be stored in an airtight container, I prefer a cake keeper (affiliate) if storing a whole pie. If storing individual pieces of pie, remove from pie pan and keep covered them in a smaller airtight container.
