Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make the best Reese’s pie from scratch:
For the filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (don’t use natural-style)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
For the whipped cream:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the crust and toppings:
- 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
How to Make the Best No Bake Reese’s Pie
This Reese’s pie comes together in just a few steps. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Make the Whipped Cream
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This will be folded into the filling, giving it an ultra-light, mousse-like texture. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest.
Step 2: Create the Peanut Butter Filling
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add in the creamy peanut butter and mix again until the filling is thick, smooth, and evenly combined.
Step 3: Fold it All Together
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream, this is what gives your Reese’s pie its silky, airy texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling into your graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Top with a generous handful of chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. You can also add a few dollops of whipped cream around the edges for an extra-pretty presentation.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place the Reese’s pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld perfectly.
Tips for Perfecting Your Reese’s Pie
- Soften the cream cheese fully to avoid lumps in your filling.
- Use full-fat ingredients for the richest, creamiest texture.
- Freeze for a firmer texture if you like your pies ultra-cold—just thaw slightly before slicing.
- Cut clean slices by dipping a sharp knife in hot water and wiping between cuts.

Variations to Try
Want to switch things up while still keeping the Reese’s pie magic?
- Oreo Crust – Swap the graham cracker crust for crushed Oreos with melted butter.
- Peanut Butter Swirl – Warm up extra peanut butter and swirl into the top of the pie before chilling.
- Chocolate Ganache Layer – Add a layer of ganache at the bottom of the crust for a rich surprise.
How to Store Reese’s Pie
Keep your Reese’s pie covered in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. It holds its shape beautifully and tastes even better after a day or two. For longer storage, wrap the pie tightly and freeze for up to a month. Just allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
