Understanding the Ingredients in this Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

  • Crushed Cookies: Create the crunchy crust. For this pie we used regular Oreos. However you can choose from a variety of cookies like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, etc.
  • Peanut Butter: The star of the show, gives the pie its classic flavor. Use a processed peanut butter like Jif or Skippy.
  • Cream Cheese: Adds a tangy flavor. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature so that it can be easily mixed with the peanut butter.
  • Powdered Sugar: Adds sweetness and stability.
  • Vanilla Extract: Elevates the flavors.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: Assists in creating a light, airy, filling.
