Description
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie is a creamy, no-bake dessert combining peanut butter and chocolate flavors with a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth peanut butter filling, and topped with whipped cream and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for whipped cream topping)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Pack it down firmly using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes while preparing the filling.
- For the peanut butter filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined.
- Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, reserving some for topping the pie later.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled peanut butter filling. Garnish with additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
- Slice and serve the pie cold. Enjoy the creamy, peanut butter-chocolate goodness in every bite!
Notes
Add chocolate ganache for extra indulgence by drizzling melted chocolate over the whipped cream topping.For a more fun presentation, use mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and place them on top or mix them into the filling.To make this pie firmer, dissolve a tablespoon of unflavored gelatin in warm water and mix it into the filling before chilling.This pie is best made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
