Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Make the Crust: Crush 25 Oreos in a blender or food processor until finely ground. Add 5 tablespoons melted butter and pulse briefly to combine. Spray a springform pan with non-stick spray, pour the Oreo mixture into the pan, and press down evenly to form a compact crust layer.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Layer: Using a hand mixer, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup creamy peanut butter until whipped and smooth. Add 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar and blend well. Gently fold in 8 oz Cool Whip until evenly combined. Pour this mixture onto the Oreo crust and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set.
- Prepare Chocolate Layer: In a clean bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until fully blended. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in two 10-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Add melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and beat well. Fold in 8 oz Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Evenly spread this chocolate layer over the chilled peanut butter layer.
- Add Toppings: Crush 5 Oreos and sprinkle them evenly over the chocolate layer. Using a vegetable peeler, shave curls from a chocolate candy bar and scatter them decoratively on top.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the completed pie until fully set and ready to serve, ensuring a firm, sliceable texture. Enjoy every indulgent bite.
Notes
- For best results, allow the pie to chill overnight to fully set all layers.
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure smooth, lump-free layers.
- If desired, substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Make sure to press the crust firmly for a sturdy base.
- The chocolate curls are optional but add a nice decorative touch and extra chocolate flavor.
