Ingredients

  • 1 Chocolate Premade Pie Crust
  • 8 ounce Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 10 Miniature Reese’s, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Peanut Butter

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of smooth peanut butter. Use an electric hand mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour this peanut butter filling into the chocolate premade pie crust and smooth the top evenly.
  2. Step 2: Evenly sprinkle the chopped miniature Reese’s and milk chocolate chips over the top of the pie. Place the 3 tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals until melted. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the pie. Refrigerate the pie for 4 to 6 hours before serving to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.

Tips & Variations

  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture instead of smooth if desired.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, try a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of a premade chocolate crust.
  • Top with whipped cream and extra chopped Reese’s for an even more decadent presentation.
  • To make the pie lighter, substitute half of the heavy whipping cream with whipped topping.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, you can enjoy it chilled or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture. Avoid freezing as the texture of the cream cheese filling may change.
