Ingredients
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
Instructions
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.
