Instructions
Prepare the Oreo Crust
- Crush the 25 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until fully combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

- In a mixing bowl, beat 6 oz cream cheese until smooth.
- Add cocoa powder, 1/2 cup sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until blended.
- Stir in the melted chocolate until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer
- In another bowl, beat 10 oz cream cheese until smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until creamy and smooth.
Whip the Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Pie
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate filling until incorporated.
- Spread the chocolate layer over the Oreo crust.
- Fold the remaining whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
- Spoon the peanut butter layer over the chocolate layer and smooth out the top.
Chill
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
Decoration
- Before serving, drizzle melted peanut butter on top and garnish with crushed peanut butter cups for a beautiful finish.
Notes
Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing. You can use gluten-free Oreos if you have dietary restrictions. For an extra chocolatey twist, drizzle chocolate ganache on top just before serving.
