Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (such as Oreos, without filling)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Create the Chocolate Cookie Crust:
   • In a bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the base of a pie dish, ensuring an even and firm crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, whip together creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
3. Whip the Heavy Cream:
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Add Chocolate Chip Delight:
   • Introduce mini chocolate chips into the peanut butter filling, folding them in to distribute the chocolatey goodness evenly.
5. Layer and Refrigerate:
   • Pour the peanut butter filling over the chocolate cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
