What You’ll Need
This recipe uses simple ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry:
• Chocolate Pie Crust: A pre-made crust keeps things quick and easy.
• Cream Cheese: Provides a tangy richness that balances the sweetness.
• Powdered Sugar & Vanilla: Adds sweetness and enhances the flavor.
• Peanut Butter: Choose creamy for the smoothest filling.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Creates a light, fluffy texture.
• Toppings: Reese’s mini cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate shavings add the finishing touch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until it’s light and fluffy. The texture should be creamy but firm enough to hold its shape.
2. Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the pre-made chocolate crust. Make sure the surface is smooth and level.
3. Add the Toppings: Chop the Reese’s mini cups and crumble half a chocolate bar. Sprinkle these over the pie along with peanut butter chips for a beautiful and delicious finish.
4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set. Slice into generous servings and enjoy every bite!
