Let’s Make This Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie!

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Be sure there are no lumps! Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Once the crust is cool, spread the creamy peanut butter filling evenly into the pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to make it look extra professional.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate chunks, and peanut butter chips generously over the top of the pie. For an added touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce across the top.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. Once chilled, slice, serve, and enjoy!

What to Serve with Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie

This pie is rich and indulgent, so you can pair it with something light, like fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you want to go all out, serve it with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a dollop of whipped cream on top!

Tips for Success

• Use creamy peanut butter: To get the smoothest filling, avoid chunky peanut butter. Creamy works best!
• Chill time: Make sure to give your pie enough time to chill so the filling sets properly—at least 4 hours is key.
• Whip it good: When whipping your heavy cream, it should be firm enough to hold its shape but not over-whipped. Soft peaks are perfect!

Storage Instructions

This pie stores wonderfully in the fridge. Cover it with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container, and it will last up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage—just thaw it overnight in the fridge when you’re ready to serve!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, making it the night before gives it plenty of time to set, and the flavors meld together even more.

Can I use a store-bought crust?

Yes! If you’re short on time, feel free to use a pre-made chocolate cookie crust from the store. It’ll save you a step, and still taste delicious!

Can I make it dairy-free?

You can swap the cream cheese and heavy cream for dairy-free alternatives, though the texture may change slightly. Just be sure the substitutes can whip to a similar consistency.
