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!
