Reese's Peanut Butter Pie
Description
The Reese's Peanut Butter Pie starts with a graham cracker crust coated with warm hot fudge to add chocolate richness at the base. The filling combines softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioners sugar beaten until smooth, then folded with half the whipped topping to maintain a light texture.
This filling is spooned into the crust and topped with the remaining whipped topping for an even, creamy layer. After chilling for at least two hours, the pie firms up into a smooth, sliceable dessert. Mini Reese's peanut butter cups crown the pie, contributing bits of peanut and chocolate flavors along with a pleasant chewiness. A drizzle of hot fudge on top is optional for extra chocolate accent.
The pie balances peanut butter’s nutty richness with the light whipped topping and sweetened cream cheese, finished by the sweet chocolate crust and accouterments. It is a no-bake dessert requiring chilling to set, making it convenient for preparing in advance for gatherings or treats.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup hot fudge
- 1 graham cracker pie crust 9 inch
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup confectioners sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 16 oz whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups mini
Instructions
- Heat hot fudge either in the microwave (for 15 seconds) or on the stovetop until it's just easy enough to pour.
- Pour hot fudge over graham cracker crust, smoothing it out until it covers the entire bottom of the pie.
- Beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and peanut butter together until smooth.
- Fold in half the whipped topping with a spatula.
- Spoon peanut butter pie filling over the graham cracker crust.
- Place remaining whipped topping over the peanut butter mixture and smooth across so the filling is all covered.
- Chill for two hours or until firm.
- Top with mini peanut butter cups or chopped peanut butter cups. Garnish with a drizzle of hot fudge (optional) and serve in slices.
Notes
- Enhance garnish by adding peanut butter drizzle, chopped peanuts, or extra chocolate syrup.
- Use softer cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and smooth filling.
- Ensure hot fudge is only warmed enough to pour smoothly without becoming too thin.
- Chill the pie for at least two hours or until firm before serving for best texture.
