Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Melt and cool slightly before mixing into the cookie crumbs.

For the peanut butter layer

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Opt for shelf-stable for a silky filling.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Leave out for 30 minutes before mixing for fluffier texture.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Adds sweetness without the graininess.
  • 1/2 cup milk Any cow's milk works, or swap for unsweetened almond or oat milk.

For the chocolate ganache

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips You can use dark chocolate chips for a richer ganache.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Use for the ganache; do not substitute with milk.

For the whipped cream topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Chill your bowl and beaters for fluffiest whipped cream.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Makes the whipped cream stable.

For garnishing

  • Mini Oreo cookies For garnish.
  • Melted peanut butter For drizzling on top.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Crush 24 Oreo cookies (cream filling and all!) and mix with melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Beat creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Spread over the cooled Oreo crust. Refrigerate to firm up.
  • Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until simmering. Pour over 1 cup of chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer and refrigerate until set.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Layer over the chocolate ganache.
  • Garnish with mini Oreos and drizzle with melted peanut butter before serving.

Notes

Room-temperature ingredients blend more smoothly. Allow layers to set properly in the fridge for better slicing. Line the springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Use a hot knife for clean slices.
