Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker or cookie crust
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate Layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared crust. Spread the peanut butter filling over the chocolate layer carefully to maintain layers without mixing.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate: Drizzle or spread the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, covering it completely to create the top chocolate layer.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the pie is firm and set.
- Serve: Remove from refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Slice and enjoy your giant Reese’s peanut butter cup pie!
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is not overheated to prevent it from seizing.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for the filling to achieve the smoothest texture.
- For extra crunch, add chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top before chilling.
- Pie is best stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days.
- Can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly tangier taste.
