    The Best Reeses Pie Recipe

    If you're like me and Reese's peanut butter cups are your favorite sweet treat, then this delicious dessert is going to blow your socks off!

    This recipe for Reese's peanut butter cup pie is by far the most decadent, rich, and satisfying peanut butter cup pie you'll ever find.

    It has a fudgy chocolate coating on top of the pie crust with a thick layer of creamy peanut butter filling, homemade whipped cream, and Reese's peanut butter cups on top. So it's basically peanut butter cups in pie form!

    The best part about this Reese's peanut butter pie is it requires minimal prep time, and it's actually super easy to make, even if you've never made a homemade pie before! It's honestly as easy as going to the store to buy a pie, and it's so much tastier made at home.

    This peanut butter pie is ideal to bring to parties or serve as a Reese's Thanksgiving pie since it's such a crowd-pleaser, especially during the holiday season.

    But with that said, it's equally terrific to serve as a simple after-dinner dessert for the family any time of year!

    Seriously, it's such a hit that you might want to make two or three pies! Plus, it keeps really well in the refrigerator, and it might even taste better the days after you make it.

    Now, let's get down to business so we can make Reese's peanut butter pie!

    Ingredients

    There are only a handful of ingredients required to make this Reese's peanut butter cup pie. And you probably have a few of them on hand already! If not, just a quick trip to your nearest grocery store is standing between you and this Reese's Thanksgiving pie.

    Anyway, here's everything you'll need to make this chocolate peanut butter cup pie:

    • 1 pie crust
    • 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
    • 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
    • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 1 cup Reese’s, cut into chunks

    How simple is that?

    Diving into the ingredients

    As you can see this easy pie recipe uses a premade pie crust, but you can totally make one from scratch if you want as well.

    With that said, a graham cracker pie crust is a delicious way to change the flavor of this Reese's peanut butter pie for the better, so definitely keep that in mind. Or, if you don't want to use a graham cracker pie crust, you can enhance the chocolate flavors and use a chocolate pie crust or an Oreo pie crust like in this Mississippi mud pie.

    Anyway, for the fudge, any chocolate fudge sauce, regular chocolate sauce, melted chocolate wafers, or milk chocolate chips will work great to create the chocolate layer for the Reese's peanut butter cups pie.

    No matter how you choose to make this pie, it'll be delicious! 

    By the way, if you love Reese's peanut butter cups, you have to make this chocolate peanut butter fudge next! It's made with two ingredients and is actually a great dessert to serve alongside this pie.

    And if you want another Reese's cup style pie, you can make my other no bake peanut butter pie. It's basically like a giant peanut butter cups.

    How To Make This Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie

    So, as I mentioned earlier, the steps required to make this peanut butter cup pie could not any easier.

    Also, just so you know, you can easily save time by making pouring the chocolate on top of the pie crust the night before, so it will have time to set in the fridge before making the pie. Doing that will cut down on some of the prep time.

    Anyways, let's not waste any more time and get into how to make Reese's pie!

    Step 1: Prepping The Pie Crust

    First, you'll want to preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°).

    Then, grease a pie pan and lightly sprinkle the surface with flour - the flour ensures that the crust doesn't stick to the pie pan when serving.

    Next, place the pie crust over the pie dish and pinch the edges with a fork to create crimps all around.

    Now you'll need to pre-bake the pie crust. And to get that perfect golden color, bake the pie for about 15 minutes. Also, make sure to keep an eye on the crust as it cooks because you'll want to remove it from the oven as soon as it turns golden brown.

    Step 2: Adding The Chocolate Fudge

    Once the pie crust is fully baked you'll want to allow it to cool completely.

    Then, pour the chocolate fudge sauce on top of the pie crust and put it in the refrigerator so the chocolate can set.

    Step 3: Making The Whipped Cream

    While the chocolate on the pie crust is setting, you can prepare the homemade whipped cream.

    To do that, beat the heavy cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer - or stand mixer - until stiff peaks start to form.

    Once you have stiff peaks, take one cup out from the bowl for the peanut butter filling and put the rest of the whipped cream in the refrigerator.

    Step 4: Making the Filling

    So, to make the dreamy peanut butter mixture, you'll want to add the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, and the separated cup of whipped cream to a large mixing bowl.

    Then, mix the filling with an electric mixer until it's fully combined and is smooth and creamy. Oh, and if you want to take it to another level, fold in some chopped peanut butter cups!

    Step 5: Completing The Pie

    Now that the filling is ready, the chocolate should be slightly hardened on top of the pie crust.

    So, take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and add all of the peanut butter mixture on top. Then, smooth it out with a rubber spatula, so it evenly covers the pie.

    Now you can add the whipped cream on top of that and spread it out evenly over the filling.

    Lastly, add the chopped peanut butter cups on top of the whipped cream.

    Finally, either slice the pie and serve it immediately or store it in the fridge if you are planning on eating it later.

    Enjoy!

    How To Store Your Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

    This rich and creamy Reese's peanut butter cup pie will make about 8 decent-sized slices. And if you're serving it at a party, on Thanksgiving, or even just after a family dinner, you may not have any leftovers.

    But, if you're lucky enough to save some, this pie stores super well in the fridge. Either cover the pie dish that the pie is in or transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. Stored this way it will last in the fridge for about 4 days. 

    However, if you want to store it for longer and enjoy it as a frozen treat, you can also freeze the pie for about 2 months. To freeze peanut butter pie, transfer it to an airtight container or wrap individual slices tightly with plastic wrap and put them in a freezer-safe bag.

    FAQs ABOUT THIS REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP PIE

    What is in a Reese's pie?

    Most Reese's peanut butter cup pies contain two main components that make up the iconic Reese's cup - chocolate and peanut butter. This pie recipe has a rich chocolate fudge layer, a creamy and sweet peanut butter filling, fresh whipped cream, and of course, Reese's peanut butter cups. Other Reese's pies have a chocolate crust for a richer chocolate flavor and even some melted chocolate on top for another element.

    Is there a Reese's pie?

    Yes, there is absolutely a Reese's pie, as you've seen with this recipe. Now, a Reese's pie can take on many forms, like having an extra peanut butter layer instead of chocolate or having the pie on top of a graham cracker or chocolate crust. But, of course, I think that this is the best one. And I know I'm a little biased, but I guess you'll have to try it for yourself and see if you agree!
