How to Make Buckeye Pie

Oreo Crust

• Pulse or crush Oreo cookies into crumbs.  Add melted butter to Oreo cookie mixture and mix well. Firmly press mixture onto bottom and up the side of a 9-in. pie plate. Place in freeze for 10-12 minutes while you make the filling.

Peanut Butter Filling

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until very smooth. Beat in peanut butter (reserving 2 tablespoons for ganache) until mixed well for 2 minutes, then mix in vanilla.
• Add powdered sugar one cup at a time on medium speed until mixture is evenly combined and mixed together.
• Mix in heavy whipping cream and then add mixture into crust and spread mixture evenly over filling.

Chocolate Ganache

• Place heavy cream in microwave for 1-2 minutes until it starts boiling.  Add chocolate chips and peanut butter and let sit for one minute.  Then, whisk mixture together to get the smooth, glossy ganache.
• Spread ganache over the peanut butter filling covering to the edge of the pie. Chill for several hours before serving.
