Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Crust

  • 25 Oreos (whole)
  • 5 TBSP Unsalted butter (melted)

Chocolate Pie Filling

  • 6 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 TBSP Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup Sour cream (room temperature or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 3.5 oz Chocolate bar (melted, prefer Lindt 72%)

Peanut Butter Pie Filling

  • 10 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream (room temperature or Greek yogurt)

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups Heavy cream (cold)
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

Topping and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup Peanut butter (melted)
  • Peanut butter cups (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo crust: Spray a 9-inch ceramic pie pan with baking nonstick spray and set aside. Using a blender, pulse the Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix in the melted unsalted butter until fully combined.
  2. Form the crust: Pour the Oreo crumb mixture into the prepared pie pan. Use your hands to press the crumbs evenly halfway up the sides of the pan. Compact the bottom firmly using the bottom of a measuring cup to create a solid crust base.
  3. Freeze crust: Place the prepared crust in the freezer to set while preparing the fillings, allowing it to firm up properly.
  4. Make the chocolate pie filling: With a mixer, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder on high speed for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Combine chocolate ingredients: Add vanilla extract, sour cream, and melted chocolate to the chocolate mixture. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated and creamy. Set aside.
  6. Prepare peanut butter pie filling: Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with a mixer on high speed for 2 minutes. Then add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  7. Whip cream topping: Using a metal bowl with a whisk attachment or mixer, beat cold heavy cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  8. Fold whipped cream into fillings: Divide the whipped cream evenly, pouring half into the chocolate filling and half into the peanut butter filling. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into each filling mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. This process takes a few minutes to achieve a light and airy texture.
  9. Assemble the pie: Spread the chocolate pie filling evenly over the frozen Oreo crust. Then spread the peanut butter pie filling evenly on top of the chocolate layer. Drizzle melted peanut butter over the top and use a butter knife to swirl it gently for an attractive marbled effect.
  10. Chill to set: Cover the pie with foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set firmly.
  11. Decorate and serve: Once chilled and set, decorate the top with peanut butter cups. Keep the pie cold until ready to serve to maintain the creamy texture and delicious flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
  • If you prefer, Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream in the fillings.
  • Be gentle when folding in the whipped cream to maintain a light and airy texture in the pie.
  • The pie should be kept refrigerated at all times after assembling to maintain texture and food safety.
  • Using a high-quality dark chocolate like Lindt 72% enhances the rich flavor of the chocolate filling.
