Description
The Frozen Peanut Butter Pie with Oreo Crust is a study in complementary textures and flavors. The pie is composed of two primary, non-negotiable components that create a perfect synergy.
Ingredients
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon (optional but traditional)
¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Butter and flour (or baking spray) for the pan
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened (about 1–2 minutes).
Whisk in vanilla and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
Slowly fold in melted butter until smooth and glossy.
2. Rest the Batter
Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes (this helps create the classic “hump”).
3. Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Generously butter and flour a madeleine pan.
Spoon batter into molds, filling about ¾ full (no need to spread).
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers spring back.
4. Cool & Serve
Tap pan gently to release madeleines.
Cool slightly on a rack.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
This Frozen Peanut Butter Pie with Oreo Crust is rich and creamy—add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel on top, sprinkle with chopped peanuts for extra crunch, or fold in mini chocolate chips into the filling for a fun twist. Serve chilled for the perfect make-ahead dessert.
