For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreos work great)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the peanut butter filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the topping:
- 4–5 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (plus 1–2 for garnish)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips, melted (optional drizzle)
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely to set the crust.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy, taking care to retain the airiness.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly over the top. For an extra chocolate touch, optionally drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the pie surface in a decorative pattern.
- Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. This helps the flavors meld and allows for easier slicing.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with the remaining Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for an attractive finish. Slice into 8 to 10 pieces and enjoy this rich, indulgent dessert.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top along with the Reese’s cups.
- This pie is very rich; consider cutting smaller slices for serving to guests.
- Make ahead: The pie can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated overnight for convenience and enhanced flavor.
