Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a pie pan with non-stick spray. In a food processor, crush 30 Oreos until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix the crushed Oreos with 5 tablespoons of melted butter until thoroughly combined, then press this mixture tightly into the bottom and sides of your pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly set and fragrant, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add ¾ cup powdered sugar, mixing until fully integrated and no lumps remain. Finally, gently fold in 8 oz of Cool Whip until the filling is light and fluffy, ensuring there are no streaks.
Assemble the Pie
- Once your Oreo crust has completely cooled, pour the luscious peanut butter filling into the crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly, ensuring every corner is filled. For a personalized touch, sprinkle your choice of toppings, such as chopped Reese's cups or crushed Oreos, over the filling.
Chill
- Place the assembled Peanut Butter Pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 3 hours or until set. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can freeze the pie for about 1-2 hours before serving. Once chilled, the pie should be firm yet creamy, ready to delight your guests!

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Don't skip chilling to achieve the right creamy consistency. Substitute Oreos with gluten-free options as needed.
