Here’s a full recipe for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups milk chocolate chips (divided)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 8 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or you can make your own)
Instructions:
- Prepare the crust:
- If you’re using a store-bought graham cracker crust, place it on a serving plate. If you’re making your own crust, you can use a mixture of crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press it into a pie dish and set it aside.
- Make the peanut butter layer:
- In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, and softened butter.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the chocolate topping.
- Make the chocolate topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of the milk chocolate chips and the vegetable shortening.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill the pie:
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, remove the pie from the refrigerator. If desired, you can garnish with more peanut butter cups or chocolate shavings.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
This pie is rich and indulgent, with a smooth peanut butter filling topped with a creamy, chocolate layer.
