Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (plus more for drizzling)

For the Topping:

  • Additional whipped topping
  • Chopped peanuts or mini peanut butter cups (optional)
  • Extra hot fudge for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread half of the filling into the chilled crust. Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly, then drizzle it over the filling layer. Spread the remaining filling on top, smoothing the surface. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Finish and Serve: Before serving, top with additional whipped topping, chopped peanuts or mini peanut butter cups, and a drizzle of hot fudge.

Notes

  • For a richer version, use homemade whipped cream in place of whipped topping.
  • This pie can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks—just thaw slightly before serving.
