Christina's peanut butter pie recipe is fabulous. There is no better duo in our mind than peanut butter and chocolate. The melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter Oreo crust is next level genius. Every bite you take, the chocolate melts in your mouth and compliments the creamy peanut butter layer. This pie is decadent, indeed - and very addicting!

How To Make ultimate peanut butter pie

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the crust, crush up the cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor or by adding them to a ziptop bag and using a rolling pin.

Step 2

Dump the crushed cookies into a large deep pie pan. Drizzle the melted butter over the cookie crumbs. Mix well and start pressing them down firmly in the center of pan, working your way outward.
Step 3

Keep pressing the cookie crust firmly into the pan working up the sides of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Seat aside to cool.
Step 4

To make the ganache, add the chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 10-15 seconds, until melted, smooth, and silky.
Step 5

Pour most of the melted chocolate mixture over the crust, setting aside a bit of it for a finishing drizzle. Work the chocolate up the sides of the crust and spread evenly. Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.
Step 6

To make the filling, cream together the peanut butter and cream cheese (I use my stand mixer for this part). In a separate bowl, add the pudding mix and milk; mix. Once thick, add it to the peanut butter mixture. Add the condensed milk and mix well.
Step 7

Beat the heavy cream. When it starts getting thicker, add the sugar. Beat until nice and thick.
Step 8

Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the filling into the pie. Smooth out evenly.
Step 9

Spread the remaining whipped cream on top of the peanut butter filling. Sprinkle peanut butter cups on top. Drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. ENJOY!!!
