Ingredients For Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut Butter – I prefer creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) but crunchy will also work. Avoid using ‘natural’ peanut butter as it doesn’t blend as smoothly.
Cream Cheese – Use a block of room temperature cream cheese. Full-fat is best for richness and texture, but low-fat can be used for a lighter version.
Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is folded in for a fluffy texture, you can replace it with 2 cups of prepared whipped topping however the pie will be a bit sweeter.
Powdered Sugar – Adds sweetness and mixes in smoothly.
Crust – Oreo cookies, including the filling, are pulsed into crumbs for the crust. You can substitute a graham crust, Nilla wafers, or Nutter Butters.
