Ingredients

Oreo Crust:

  • 22 gluten-free Oreos (9 oz, 250g)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (56g)

Chocolate Ganache Filling:

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (8 oz)
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chips (1 1/3 cups, 226g)

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (256g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (227g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (55g)
  • 1 cup Cool Whip topping (or homemade whipped cream, 72g)

Topping:

  • 1 cup Reese's peanut butter cups (quartered (started with 15 mini Reese's, 4.5 oz, 125g))
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (melted (melt chocolate chips or use your favorite chocolate sauce))
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (melted)

Instructions

  • Place the gluten-free Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender. You do not need to remove the cream filling from the Oreos. Pulse until the cookies turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter.
  • Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and all the crumbs are moistened.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch pie dish. Using your hands or the back of a measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
  • Bake the Oreo pie crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the heavy cream to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low until simmering. Do not let the heavy cream boil.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Then, pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the bowl with a plate for 5 minutes to trap in the steam. Then, stir the chocolate chips and heavy cream mixture until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache into the prepared cookie crust and smooth with a spoon or spatula.
  • Refrigerate the pie for 1 hour until the ganache is semi-set.
  • To make the peanut butter layer, combine the creamy peanut butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Use an electric mixer to mix until smooth.
  • Then, add the vanilla and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix again until combined.
  • Fold in the Cool Whip or whipped cream until combined.
  • Spread the peanut butter layer over the top of the chocolate filling.
  • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.
  • Top the pie with drizzled melted peanut butter, chocolate and peanut butter cups.
  • Slice and serve!

Notes

  • If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet for any, always be sure to double check that your ingredients are gluten-free as manufacturing practices can change from time to time. 
  • I used 22 gluten-free Oreos for the crust which is 75% of the package. Keep in mind that the gluten-free Oreo packaging is smaller than the regular Oreo packaging. Save the remaining gluten-free Oreos for a snack or different recipe, or you can chop them up and place them on top of the pie instead of Reese’s peanut butter cups if you prefer. 
  • I used regular creamy peanut butter for this recipe. 
  • I used Cool Whip in the photos of this recipe, but you can also use homemade whipped cream if you prefer. 
  • To make this recipe dairy-free and vegan, use dairy-free butter, vegan cream cheese, dairy-free chocolate chips, dairy-free whipped topping such as CocoWhip, and omit the Reese’s peanut butter cups.
