Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

This recipe is courtesy of the Pioneer Woman.

She featured it on her show yesterday, and I decided to emulate the recipe.

 

The cast of characters:

 

FOR CRUST

25 whole Oreos

4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted

 

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:

1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

1 package (8 Ounce) Softened Cream Cheese

1-1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

1 package (8 Ounce) Cool Whip, Thawed

First things first, you gotta make the crust.

That involves 25 Oreo cookies and putting them into a food processor and pulsing them like crazy. And if you don't have a food processor, you could try the cheap/easy method; ergo, putting Oreo's into a Ziploc bag and beating them into oblivion. Let me say, I tested that, it's a no go :(

The food processor is the way to go.

 

 

 

Then take them out and put them into a mixing bowl.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

 

 

Add the melted butter to the cookie crumble.

Stir with a fork.

 

 

 After the cookie/butter mixture is stirred, press it into a pie pan.

Bake at 350* for 5-7 minutes.

DON'T BURN IT!!

While the crust is setting/baking, add 1 cup of Peanut Butter and one package of cream cheese to the mixer.

Whip it together until smooth.

 

Add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar.

Mix and mix and mix some more.

Remember to scrape the sides.

 

Then add the entire tub of Cool Whip.

Yep, the whole thawed tub.

 

Tell me the below picture doesn't look appetizing..

I dare you.

It looks great and the whole kitchen smells like peanut butter.

Just a small slice of heaven.

 

Once everything is whipped into oblivion,

add the peanut butter mixture to the cooled pie crust.

Chill for at least an hour.

Give leftovers to your dog...

Make sure to take a picture if it gets all over his face :)
