  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped
For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth. If desired, mix in 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening for a glossy finish.
  6. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled pie, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts for an extra crunch. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another hour to set the chocolate.
  7. Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, dreamy flavors of this No-Bake Creamy Peanut Butter Pie!

Notes

  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap while it chills to prevent odors from the fridge.
