Mixing bowls
Spatula
9-inch springform pan or pie dish
Hand mixer or stand mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
Microwave-safe bowl
Tips for Success
Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling. Chill the crust before adding the filling to keep it firm. Let the chocolate topping cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the peanut butter layer.
Ingredients
2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
Directions
In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 20 minutes. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. To make the ganache, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until just simmering, pour over the chocolate chips, and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour over the peanut butter layer. Chill until set.
Additional Tips or Variations
Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture. Add chopped peanuts on top for a salty crunch. Try a graham cracker or pretzel crust for a fun twist. Drizzle with caramel or sprinkle with sea salt for extra flair.
