Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until set.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix until fully combined.

Step 3: Fold in Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Fill the Crust

Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top.

Step 5: Freeze

Step 6: Prepare Chocolate Topping

Heat heavy cream until warm, then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the frozen pie and spread evenly.

Sprinkle chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips on top. Freeze again for 1 hour before slicing.

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this dessert is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare it a day or even two days in advance and keep it stored in the freezer until ready to serve. It actually holds its shape better and tastes even more balanced after fully setting.

How long should I let it sit before serving?
Let the pie sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before slicing. This softens the filling slightly and makes it easier to cut while still keeping that frozen creamy texture.

Can I use natural peanut butter?
You can, but it may slightly affect the texture. Natural peanut butter tends to be more oily and less stable, so the filling may not be as firm. For best results, use a regular creamy peanut butter.

What is the best way to cut clean slices?
Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wipe it clean between each cut. This helps you get smooth, bakery-style slices without dragging the layers.

Can I store leftovers?
Yes, store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 1 week. Keep it well wrapped to prevent freezer burn and maintain the creamy texture.
