Ingredients
  

For the Homemade Oreo Crust:

24 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)

5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

8 oz (1 package) cream cheese (softened)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For Topping (optional):

Additional whipped topping for garnish

Chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips for garnish

Drizzle of chocolate sauce

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make the Oreo Crust:

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to ensure it’s packed tightly.

          - Bake the crust in your preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.

            Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

                - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.

                  - Gently fold in the whipped topping until combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

                    Assemble the Pie:

                      - Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

                        Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This helps the filling set properly.

                          Serve:

                            - Once well chilled, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Top with additional whipped topping and sprinkle with chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips if desired. Drizzle chocolate sauce on top for an extra touch!

                              Slice and Enjoy: Slice into wedges and savor every bite of this creamy, chocolatey, and nutty delight!
