Description

This Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie is a decadent, no-bake dessert that transforms the classic candy into a rich, sliceable treat perfect for parties and celebrations. With a creamy peanut butter filling and thick chocolate shell, it’s a showstopper that’s easy to make and sure to impress any crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate (about 2 2/3 cups chocolate chips or chopped bars)
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (no-stir, shelf-stable recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
  • Optional: chopped roasted peanuts, flaky sea salt, or honey for garnish or flavor variation

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, or line a pie plate with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the chocolate and melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes total). Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  3. Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared pan. Tilt and rotate the pan, using a spatula to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 minutes until firm.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if the filling is too stiff.
  5. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled chocolate shell. Spread evenly and smooth the top, leaving a little space at the edge.
  6. Rewarm the remaining chocolate if needed. Pour over the peanut butter layer, spreading to the edges to seal. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
  7. Carefully remove the pie from the pan. Use a sharp, warmed knife to slice and serve.

Notes

Let the chocolate cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the filling. If the chocolate is too thick, add 1-2 tsp neutral oil to thin. For clean slices, warm your knife and wipe between cuts. The pie can be made a day ahead and kept chilled. For gluten-free, double-check all ingredients. Variations include using dark chocolate, nut-free butters, or adding spices or toppings.
