Indulge in the decadent delight of this Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie! With a rich chocolate cookie crust, a luscious peanut butter filling, and a silky ganache topping, this pie is a peanut butter lover’s dream come true.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20–24 Oreos, finely crushed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping or whipped cream

For the Ganache Topping:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for added shine)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust

    In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until set.

  2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream until fully incorporated. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

  3. Chill the Pie

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up before adding the ganache.

  4. Make the Ganache Topping

    Heat heavy cream in a saucepan or microwave until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 1–2 minutes. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Add butter if using. Pour the ganache over the chilled filling and smooth out evenly. Return the pie to the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until set.

Notes

  • You can garnish the pie with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for extra flair.
  • For a firmer ganache, refrigerate the pie for longer before serving.
