  • Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Spread evenly over the chilled crust.

3. Make the Chocolate Ganache:

Notes

✔ Make It Crunchier: Use a graham cracker or pretzel crust instead of Oreos.
✔ Lighter Version: Use light cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
✔ Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
