Preparation

Chef’s notes

Equipment recommendations:
Pie plate, food processor
Crust Alternative:
You can replace the Oreo crust with my favorite graham cracker crust; use it as-is or substitute chocolate graham crackers! You can also replace the Oreos with Nutter Butters.
Peanut Butter:
It is important to use traditional, processed peanut butter (i.e. Jif, Skippy, Peter Pan, etc.) in this recipe. Using natural peanut butter will result in a pie that is oily and may separate, so I do not recommend using natural peanut butter.
Nut Butter Alternatives:
You can use other nut butters such as almond butter, cashew butter, etc. as long as they do not have oil separation (see the note above). A great almond butter substitute that works exceptionally well in baked goods is Barney Butter.
Cool Whip:
If you would prefer to use Cool Whip as a shortcut, you can fold in an 8-ounce container in place of using the whipped heavy cream.
