Pie Base
- 1 (6 oz) ready-to-use Oreo cookie crust
Filling
- 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 carton (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Topping
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture until everything is evenly incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the prepared Oreo cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Swirl the Fudge: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until pourable. Drizzle the warm fudge over the top of the peanut butter filling. Using a toothpick, gently swirl the fudge over the surface by skimming the top layer without digging deep into the pie.
- Chill: Cover the pie with the plastic lid that comes with the Oreo crust. Refrigerate the pie for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a smooth filling.
- Warming the fudge sauce just enough to drizzle but not make it too hot prevents melting the filling.
- You can prepare this pie a day in advance for convenience and enhanced flavor melding.
- Use a gentle folding technique with the Cool Whip to retain a light and airy texture.
- Keep the pie refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
