Description
A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a silky peanut butter filling with a chocolate cookie crust and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, perfect for Father’s Day or any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo crumbs without filling)
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and sugar. Mix well until crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
- Press crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Avoid overbeating.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula to keep it light and airy.
- Fold ¾ cup of chopped Reese’s cups into the filling, reserving ¼ cup for topping.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved chopped Reese’s evenly on top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.
- For clean slices, run a knife under hot water, dry it, and slice. Serve chilled.
Notes
Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Soften cream cheese fully at room temperature for smooth blending. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Chill pie overnight for best flavor and texture. If crust is too crumbly, add more melted butter. For less sweetness, reduce powdered sugar to ¾ cup and use natural peanut butter.
