Making pies can be intimidating, I totally get it. Nailing the perfect crust seems like an impossible task and ensuring the filling has the perfect consistency can be stressful. But, I am telling you, if I can make this so can you! You just need 5 basic ingredients for the filling, 2 basic ingredients for the crust and you are well on your way to making the most delicious pie you will ever taste and it does not get any easier than that.

A major benefit of this dessert is that you can make this ahead of time, like even a whole day ahead of time. Which I know is ideal for anyone trying to cut down on their to-do list during the busy holiday week. Plus, it does not require any baking, you just need to make sure that you have extra room in your fridge for storage. I made my pie a day ahead of time and it turned out to be perfect. I’ve also kept it in my fridge for 3 days after and it is still just as good as it was the day before.

Let’s talk pie. So, there are technically three layers to this pie: the oreo crust, the peanut butter filling and the whipped cream topping that gets drizzled and garnished with extra chocolate, peanut butter and mini reese cups.

With the oreo crust, I finely crushed mine in a food processor. If you do not have one, I recommend using a blender or doing it the old fashioned way with a rolling pin. But, you want to make sure that they are super fine crumbles. I crushed the cookies as a whole including the white filling because I feel like the white filling helps keep the crumbles together given its consistency.

Now listen up, I am telling you loud and proud that this is an insanely dangerously good dessert. Like, I am very obsessed. It’s not healthy by any means, but it is something that is great for children and adults for when you want to treat yourself and trust me, you absolutely should, you deserve it! I lightened it up a bit by using a lite cool whip. You can also use low fat or lite cream cheese if you’d like. But, sometimes things just aren’t meant to be healthy, they are just meant to be really good. Imagine that first slice, first bite feeling, ahh. Give yourself that moment.

Long live the little things and simple joys in life, like this.
