🥧 Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie
🍫 Ingredients
For the Chocolate Crust:
-
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers or Oreos (about 18 Oreos)
-
1/4 cup melted butter
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
-
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Topping:
-
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
Pinch of salt (optional)
🔪 Instructions
1. Make the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Mix crushed cookies and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
-
Press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool completely.
2. Make the Filling
-
Beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Chill while you make the topping.
3. Make the Ganache Topping
-
Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1–2 minutes.
-
Stir until smooth and glossy.
-
Pour over the peanut butter layer and smooth with a spatula.
4. Chill
-
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until set. Overnight is even better.
5. Serve
-
Slice and serve chilled (it’s rich!), or let sit at room temp for 15 mins if you prefer a softer texture.
🥄 Optional Toppings
-
Crushed Reese’s on top
-
Drizzle with peanut butter or caramel
-
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for contrast
