1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter

How to Make Monster Cookie Cheesecake Pie

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie pan to ensure an easy release later on.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

Start by creaming butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Then, mix in peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Next, add your dry ingredients: oats, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir these into the wet mixture until everything comes together nicely. Finally, fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips for that signature monster cookie flavor. Set the dough aside for now.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Add in the egg and milk, and beat until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

Press about 3/4 of the cookie dough evenly into the greased pie pan, making sure to press some dough up the sides as well to form a crust. Spread the creamy cheesecake filling over the cookie dough base, then drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough on top of the cheesecake layer. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the cheesecake completely—it’ll spread as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake and Chill

Sprinkle a few extra M&Ms on top for color and texture, then bake the pie for 20-25 minutes, or until golden on the edges. Once baked, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully set and firm.

Step 6: Make the Icing

While your pie chills, prepare the icing. Cream the butter until smooth, then mix in the peanut butter. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy. Add a little milk or water if needed to reach a pipeable consistency.

Step 7: Decorate and Serve

Once the pie is set, pipe the icing around the edges for an extra touch of sweetness. For a little extra indulgence, drizzle the pie with chocolate sauce before serving. Cut yourself a generous slice and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

Don’t overbake: The cookie dough will continue to cook a bit as it cools, so take it out when it’s just golden.
Chill time is crucial: Give the pie enough time in the fridge to fully firm up, making it easier to slice.
Decorating tip: You can add more toppings like crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or extra M&Ms for an extra crunch and fun look!

Substitutions and Variations

Nut Butter Alternatives: If you’re not a peanut butter fan, swap it out for almond butter or even Nutella.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free oats and a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Candy Mix-ins: Switch up the M&Ms and chocolate chips for Reese’s Pieces, mini peanut butter cups, or your favorite candy.
