Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust 9-inch
  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese fully softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream for ganache
  • to taste assorted Reeses candies for topping

Equipment

  • Two mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl for ganache
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar; beat until silky and uniform.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula.
  4. Pour the peanut butter filling into the pre-baked and cooled pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream; heat in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  6. Let the ganache cool for a minute, then pour it over the peanut butter layer, spreading it to the edges.
  7. Decorate with Reeses candies before the ganache sets, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to firm up.
  8. Use a hot knife to slice the pie and serve each slice on a plate.

Notes

For best results, let the cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing; this prevents lumps in the filling. Feel free to substitute crunchy peanut butter for added texture or use vegan ingredients for a nut-free version. The pie can be made a day ahead of time; in fact, chilling it overnight yields the best flavor and texture. For longer storage, the pie can be frozen for up to 2 months—just make sure to wrap it well.
