Method
- Crush 24 whole cookies into fine crumbs. Mix thoroughly with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator.
- In a chilled bowl, whip 1.5 cups of cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions until light and airy. Fold in the chopped cookies.
- Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread over the pie.
- Garnish with additional chopped or whole mini cookies. Slice with a hot, clean knife for perfect edges. Serve cold.
Notes
Using commercial creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) is crucial for the texture; natural peanut butter may separate. Wipe your knife clean between every cut for picture-perfect slices.
