For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (preferably not natural for a smoother texture)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional, for added creaminess)

Step-by-Step Instructions

This no-bake pie comes together quickly, making it perfect for those who want a decadent dessert without spending hours in the kitchen.

1. Prepare the Chocolate Crust

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs (or Oreo crumbs), granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure the crust is firmly packed. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs down evenly.
  3. Place the crust in the freezer for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the peanut butter filling.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined. This step is crucial for a velvety filling.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will give the pie its light, airy texture.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the filling to stay fluffy.
