Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by crushing 2 cups of Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the microwave, then mix it with the cookie crumbs in a large bowl until combined.
- Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it's packed tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the crust.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip until the filling is light and fluffy.
- Spread half of the peanut butter filling over the chilled Oreo crust.
- In a separate bowl, prepare 1 box of instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk according to package instructions, whisking until thickened.
- Carefully pour this chocolate layer over the peanut butter filling, then top with the remaining peanut butter filling.
- Smooth the top for an inviting finish.
- Place your assembled Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Decorate the top with additional swirls of peanut butter and sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups before serving.
- Cut into slices and serve straight from the refrigerator.
