Description
Monster Cookie Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie blends classic dessert flavors in one irresistible creation. Sweet, salty, and creamy textures combine perfectly for a memorable treat you will crave again and again.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (190 g / 6.7 oz) creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (90 g / 3.2 oz) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8.1 fl oz) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (150 g / 5.3 oz) crushed chocolate chip cookies or graham crackers
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) granulated sugar
- 6 tbsps (85 g / 3 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (45 g / 1.6 oz) mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (45 g / 1.6 oz) mini M&Ms
- ¼ cup (20 g / 0.7 oz) rolled oats (optional)
- 2 tbsps peanut butter, melted (optional drizzle)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) with the rack centered, creating an ideal baking environment for the monster cookie crust.
- Cookie Base Creation: Whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, establishing a robust dry foundation for the pie crust.
- Dough Formation: Blend softened butter, vanilla extract, and egg into the dry ingredients, kneading until a uniform dough emerges, then gently incorporate chocolate and peanut butter chips for a rich, textured base.
- Crust Molding: Press the entire dough mixture into a greased 9-inch pie pan, crafting an even layer that covers both the bottom and sides with a rustic, homemade appearance.
- Initial Baking: Bake the monster cookie crust for 10-12 minutes, achieving a golden-brown hue and slightly crisp edges, then remove and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Cheesecake Filling Preparation: Combine cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, whisking until the mixture transforms into a silky, smooth consistency.
- Cream Integration: Whip heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form, then delicately fold into the peanut butter mixture, creating a light, airy filling with a luxurious texture.
- Pie Assembly: Once the crust has cooled, spread the peanut butter cheesecake filling evenly across the surface, using a spatula to create a flawless, glossy top.
- Chilling and Finishing: Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to ensure proper setting, then optionally garnish with additional chocolate and peanut butter chips or a drizzle of melted peanut butter before serving.
Notes
- Optimize Crust Texture: Press cookie dough firmly and evenly into pie pan to create a uniform, stable base that prevents crumbling and ensures consistent baking.
- Control Cream Cheese Temperature: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling with better incorporation of ingredients.
- Prevent Overbeating Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream just until stiff peaks form to maintain structural integrity and prevent separation during folding with peanut butter mixture.
- Chill for Perfect Setting: Refrigerate pie for minimum 4 hours or overnight to allow filling to stabilize, enhance flavor melding, and create ideal slicing consistency.
