Instructions
 

Make the Oreo Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use a measuring cup or the back of a spoon to pack it down tightly.

          - Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

            Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

              - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

                - Gradually add the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.

                  - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be cautious not to over-whip.

                    - Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, taking care to keep the mixture light and airy.

                      Assemble the Pie:

                        - Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                          - Decorate with whipped cream on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for an extra touch.

                            Chill the Pie:

                              - Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to set properly.

                                Serve:

                                  - Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy each decadent bite of your deliciously easy peanut butter pie!
