Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: chocolate chips or melted chocolate for crust incorporation

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5–6 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Toppings

  • Additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for garnish
  • Optional: melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by mixing 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this firmly into a large pie dish, creating an even, tight layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set properly.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar while mixing on low speed to avoid dust clouds. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture for a fluffy, airy texture.
  3. Add Reese’s Pieces: Chop 5-6 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and carefully fold them into the filling. This ensures every slice delivers exciting pockets of peanut butter and chocolate throughout the pie.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Scatter more chopped Reese’s on top for garnish. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the surface in a decorative pattern, if desired.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother blending without lumps in the filling.
  • Don’t overwhip cream; stop at soft peaks to maintain lightness and avoid grainy texture.
  • Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling and achieve clean slices.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly to help it hold its shape and intensify flavor.
  • Use a spoon or piping bag for neat, elegant chocolate drizzle decoration.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before slicing to prevent the pie from falling apart.
