Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chocolate cookie crust (about 9 oz, store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8–10 mini Reese’s cups, chopped
  • Chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: If using store-bought, set it in a 9-inch pie pan. For homemade, pulse 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (about 9 oz) in a food processor until finely ground. Mix with 1/4 cup melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the peanut butter filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated.
  3. Fold in whipped topping gently with a rubber spatula until just combined and light.
  4. Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust. Smooth the top and chill while making the ganache (at least 15 minutes).
  5. Make the chocolate ganache: In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Top the pie: Pour ganache over the chilled pie, tilting the pan to cover evenly. Scatter chopped Reese’s cups on top. Add chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts if desired.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) until set.
  8. Serve: Slice with a hot, wet knife for clean cuts. Wipe the knife between slices.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cream cheese, coconut whipped topping, and dairy-free chocolate chips. Chill thoroughly for best texture. For clean slices, use a hot, wet knife. Add toppings just before serving if freezing. Variations include adding cinnamon, espresso powder, caramel, or seasonal fruits.
