Description
A foolproof, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese filling set in a chocolate cookie crust, topped with a glossy chocolate layer. It requires only a few ingredients and minimal effort for maximum flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (about 250g, such as Oreos)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (250g)
- 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (170g)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Pinch of salt (preferably flaky sea salt)
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
- Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the frozen pie and spread evenly to the edges.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt immediately.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the chocolate and filling are fully set.
- Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not skip the 30-minute freeze step before adding chocolate to prevent sinking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
