Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie
Alex
Oreo cookie crust and dense chocolate and peanut butter layers topped with a healthy amount of whipped cream, and of course, more cookie. Jim immediately directed it to the arsenal. It's like a Reese's cup pie made with pudding and it's something special. FYI it needs to chill for 6 hours, so make sure to plan for that!

Fillings
- ½ cup Sugar
- 3 cups Whole milk
- ½ tsp Salt
- 6 Egg yolks
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter creamy
- ½ cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

Cookie Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Combine Oreos, melted butter, and salt in a food processor on low speed. Process until paste-like.
Press wet crumbs into a 9" pie plate. Bake 10 minutes.
Fillings
In a large pot, combine sugar, milk, salt, and eggs on medium heat, whisking often so eggs do not cook. Bring to a boil, about 10-12 minutes. The custard should be thick and pudding-like. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter.
While the custard is cooking, add peanut butter and Reese's chips in a medium-sized bowl. Once custard has boiled and thickened, add half of it to the bowl of peanut butter and Reese's chips. To the half remaining in the pot, add to it the chocolate chips and the cocoa powder. Allow them to sit for one minute until the chips have melted.
Stir both to combine well. Pour in the peanut butter layer over the cookie crust. Then pour the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least six hours.
After the pie has chilled, whip cream and powdered sugar with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over the pie. Garnish with more cookies if desired. Slice and serve.
