I try to find recipes to use to make amazing desserts in
Mongolia. It can be difficult, but sometimes something turns out great.
This is a great pie to make here, because you don’t need to
bake it, and there are only a couple of ingredients that are hard to find in
Mongolia: peanut butter and powdered sugar. Both of these were sent in care
packages. I know you can buy peanut butter in UB. Also, my sitemates just
discovered that you can buy powdered sugar in our aimag center. I’ll include a picture here:

Without any further ado, here’s the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
What it calls for
1 package whole
Oreos (about 36 Oreos)
1 cup butter,
divided in half
1½ cups + 2
tablespoons creamy peanut butter, divided
1 cup powdered
sugar
1 cup chocolate
chips
½ cup heavy
whipping cream
What I actually used
36 Off-brand chocolate
cookies
1 cup butter,
divided in half
1 ½ cups + 2 TBS
crunchy peanut butter, divided
1 cup powdered
sugar
1 chocolate bar,
broken into small pieces
½ cup milk,
beaten profusely
1. Crush the cookies in a Ziploc
bag (or even easier, in its original packaging before opening), using a rolling
pin. Stir crumbs together with 8 tablespoons melted butter until well combined.
Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Freeze crust for 10 minutes until
set.
2. Add the remaining 8
tablespoons of softened butter, 1½ cups peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar
to a large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until smooth-ish. Spoon the peanut
butter mixture over the crust into a smooth layer. Place back in freezer.
3. Place chocolate chips/bar
and remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a large glass or heat-proof
bowl. In a saucepan, bring heavy whipping cream (milk) to a rolling simmer over
medium-high heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips/bar and peanut butter
and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk (fork) until completely smooth. Pour the
chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1
hour until ready to serve.
