Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie

This Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie combines a double cookie crust of Oreo and Nutter Butter cookies with a smooth peanut butter and cream cheese filling, topped with whipped Cool Whip and a rich chocolate ganache. The crust offers a crunchy contrast to the creamy filling, while the ganache adds a velvety chocolate finish. Its sweet, peanut-buttery flavor and multi-textured layers make it a gratifying dessert for peanut butter and chocolate lovers.

Description

The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie features a crust made by blending Nutter Butter and Oreo cookies separately, each mixed with melted butter and pressed together to form a unique dual cookie base. The filling mixes creamy peanut butter with whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip to achieve a light and fluffy texture. The pie is finished with a ganache made from semi-sweet chocolate chips melted into warmed heavy cream, creating a glossy chocolate topping that hardens slightly upon cooling.

This pie balances crunchy cookie crusts with a luscious peanut butter filling and smooth chocolate, offering a layered dessert experience. It is served chilled to maintain the set filling and ganache, making it a great make-ahead option for gatherings or as a sweet treat to enjoy over several days refrigerated.

For storage, keep the pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. It can also be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to four months, allowing preparation well in advance. Using hot fudge ice cream topping can be a shortcut for the ganache if desired.

Ingredients

Servings

For the ganache:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

For the crust:

  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • 12 cookies Nutter Butter brand
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted (divided, salted

For the filling:

  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 8 ounces cream cheese whipped
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • 8 Reese's peanut butter cups full size

Instructions

Make the ganache:

  1. In a large microwave safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream for about 1 minute. Check it and heat for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until it is very hot, but not boiling.
  2. Pour the chocolate chips into the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to sit for 3-4 minutes. Then stir the chocolate chips and heavy cream until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside.

Make the crust:

  1. In a blender or food processor blend the nutter butters and chocolate oreos separately until they are a fine sand consistency. Place them in separate small bowls and add 3 tablespoons of melted butter to each. Mix them until they are a loose, butter coated crumbs.
  2. Place random spoonfuls of each cookie mixture around a 9 inch pie plate. Press the crust into an even layer along the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to make the crust packed and even. Place the crust in your freezer while you prepare the pie filling.

Make the filling:

  1. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to mix the peanut butter, whipped cream cheese and powdered sugar until very smooth.
  2. Then fold in the Cool Whip a hand mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula. Be careful not to over mix this so the Cool Whip doesn't lose its fluffiness.

Assemble the pie:

  1. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the cookie crust in an even layer.
  2. Pour the chocolate mixture (it should be somewhat cooled by this point) over the top of the peanut butter filling and smooth it out in an even layer using an offset spatula or the back side of a spoon.
  3. Before the chocolate topping has set, sprinkle chopped Reese's cups over the top of the pie.
  4. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • The pie yields about 10 servings, with nutrition estimates varying by ingredient brands.
  • Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep it fresh.
  • For longer storage, wrap the pie tightly and freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 4 months.
  • To speed up preparation, hot fudge ice cream topping can replace homemade ganache.
  • Ensure the ganache is smooth by allowing the cream to fully melt the chocolate before stirring.
