Author: LaBranda Maners
Serves: 16
- 1 pack whole Oreos
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 16 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp Grand Marnier
- Place Oreos in a food processor, pulse until they become fine crumbs and set aside in a separate bowl.
- Brush a 10-inch springform pan with some of the melted butter and then add the rest to the Oreo crumbs, stirring with a fork until combined.
- Evenly press Oreo mixture into the bottom and ¾ up the sides of pan; bake at 350℉ for 6 to 8 minutes, or until set.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer beat peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and sugar until smooth.
- Add in the thawed Cool Whip and continue to beat mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Once filling has come together, spoon into the cooled crust, and evenly spread with an offset spatula.
- Chill for at least an hour before topping with orange ganache.
- Place chocolate into a double broiler and melt completely.
- While chocolate is melting, warm the cream and Grand Marnier in a microwave safe dish.
- Once chocolate has melted add warmed milk mixture and stir until smooth.
- Allow ganache to cool slightly and then pour over chilled pie.
- Return completed pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours—it’s worth the wait.
