Description

Chocolate lovers rejoice with this Giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Pie, a dreamy dessert that combines rich peanut butter and smooth chocolate in one epic treat. Creamy layers meld perfectly, promising pure indulgence that will make you crave another slice.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 1/4 cups crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted sweet cream butter, melted

Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Craft the chocolate foundation by gently melting milk chocolate chips with vegetable oil in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until glossy and uniform. Distribute the molten chocolate across a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring complete coverage. Freeze for 15 minutes to solidify the base layer.
  2. Create the peanut butter filling by blending powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crunchy peanut butter, and melted butter into a smooth, cohesive mixture. Carefully spread the filling over the chilled chocolate base, maintaining an even surface.
  3. Prepare the final chocolate layer by reheating the remaining chocolate chips with vegetable oil using 30-second microwave intervals. Stir until the chocolate transforms into a silky, pourable consistency. Gently cascade the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
  4. Allow the pie to set by placing it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, enabling all layers to firm and meld together seamlessly.
  5. Before serving, let the pie rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice into decadent wedges and indulge in this luxurious chocolate-peanut butter dessert.

Notes

  • Enhance chocolate melting by using a double boiler for smoother, more controlled melting and preventing chocolate from burning.
  • Customize peanut butter filling by using smooth or crunchy peanut butter based on personal texture preference.
  • Create gluten-free version by substituting graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Prevent cracking when slicing by allowing pie to sit at room temperature for exactly 10 minutes, ensuring clean, beautiful cuts without compromising texture.
