Finely crush the Oreos in a food processor, or in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin. Finer crushed cookies mean a crust that stick better.
Add the crushed Oreos into a bowl along with the melted butter and mix.
Transfer the mixture into a 23cm / 9 inch pie dish and press into the bottom and sides of a dish.
For No Bake Pie Crust - Freeze crust for 15 mins or refrigerate for at least 30 mins until it is set.
Optional For a baked pie crust - Bake at 180C / 350F / gas 4 for 10 mins. This will give you a crunchier crust. Let it cool before you continue with your recipe

Notes
TIPS FOR THE PERFECT NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER PIE
You can make the crust ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge.
Feel free to use a shop bought Oreo pie crust (or any other sweet pie crust) instead.
It is important to let the pie chill for at least 6hr in the fridge before serving. I usually make it the day before I need it and refrigerate overnight.
If you are short on time then freeze it for one hour.
This Peanut Butter Pie is very rich, so please cut smaller servings.
Other toppings for this include peanut butter cookies, Reese peanut butter cups and any chocolate of your choice.
If you have peanut allergies then you can use speculoos spread instead.
