24 Oreo cookies, crushed

Prepare the Crust

If using a homemade crust: mix crushed Oreos with melted butter.

Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

 Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Add peanut butter and beat until creamy.

Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.

Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.

Spread filling evenly into the chilled crust.

Make the Chocolate Ganache

Heat ½ cup heavy cream until just simmering.

Pour over chocolate chips.

Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Pour ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.

 Chill

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) until fully set.

Decorate & Serve

Top with mini Reese’s, chopped peanuts, and drizzles.

Slice and enjoy!

 Tips

Use regular peanut butter for best texture.

For extra crunch, add chopped Reese’s inside the filling.

Freeze 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
