Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base:
- 1 package (about 24) Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
Cream Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups (480 ml) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup (128 grams) peanut butter (optional)
Topping:
- 1 cup (240 ml) hot fudge sauce
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) crushed Oreos (for topping)
Instructions
- Transform a package of Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Incorporate melted butter into the cookie crumbs, ensuring a thorough and consistent mixture that will hold together when pressed.
- Firmly compact the buttery crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie dish, creating a solid, even base. Chill in the refrigerator for half an hour to solidify the crust.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until silky and smooth, gradually blending in powdered sugar and optional peanut butter for added depth of flavor.
- Gently fold heavy cream and whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light, airy filling with a luxurious texture.
- Carefully spread the creamy filling over the chilled Oreo crust, ensuring an even distribution across the entire surface.
- Artfully drizzle hot fudge sauce over the filling, using a spoon to create gentle swirls that add visual appeal and extra richness.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of three hours, allowing the filling to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Just before serving, garnish the pie with additional crushed Oreo cookies, providing a delightful crunch and enhancing the dessert’s visual presentation.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely for a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly and provides a delightful texture.
- Use melted butter at room temperature to ensure even mixing with cookie crumbs and prevent clumping.
- Beat cream cheese mixture slowly to avoid air bubbles, creating a silky-smooth filling that sets beautifully.
- Swap peanut butter with other spreads like Nutella or caramel sauce for unique taste profiles that complement the Oreo base.
