1. Make the Crust
Blitz Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
Mix with melted butter and salt until it resembles wet sand.
Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish (use a glass to compact evenly).
Chill for 15+ minutes to set.
Pro Tip: Freeze the crust for 10 minutes for extra firmness!
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
Beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
Fold in whipped cream gently to keep it fluffy.
Spread into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Pro Tip: Warm peanut butter slightly if too thick for easy mixing.
3. Make the Chocolate Ganache
Heat heavy cream until steaming (not boiling).
Pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until glossy.
Cool slightly, then pour over the peanut butter layer.
4. Garnish & Chill
Top with chopped Reese’s cups or a sprinkle of sea salt.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours(overnight is best).
Troubleshooting Advice
