Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie

A rich and indulgent no-bake dessert inspired by the iconic candy. Creamy peanut butter, chocolate ganache, and a medley of Reese’s treats make this pie irresistible for any peanut butter lover.


Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust
  • 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for filling)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • Assorted Reese’s candies (e.g., Mini Cups, Reese’s Pieces) for topping


Directions

  1. Make the Filling Base:
    In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip the Cream:
    In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine Mixtures:
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Assemble the Pie:
    Spoon the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  5. Prepare the Ganache:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and ½ cup of heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  6. Add the Chocolate Topping:
    Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
  7. Decorate:
    Garnish the top with assorted Reese’s candies, arranging them however you like.
