Description
This No-Bake Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie is a rich, creamy dessert that combines a chocolate cookie crust, peanut butter filling, and chocolate ganache topping. Perfect for peanut butter and chocolate lovers, and requires no baking.
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor and mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, including up the sides. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and thick.
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled crust.
- Heat heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth to form ganache.
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm and sliceable.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Try different crusts like graham cracker or Oreo.
- Add toppings like chopped mini Reese’s, sea salt, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for extra flair.
- Best served chilled, not reheated.
- Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.
