Ingredients

For the Ganache:

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream

For the Crust:

  • 12 Oreo cookies

  • 12 Nutter Butter cookies

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted (divided)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 8 ounces whipped cream cheese

  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

  • 8 full-size Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped

Instructions

Make the Ganache:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 1 minute, or until very hot (but not boiling).

  2. Add the chocolate chips to the warm cream and let sit for 3-4 minutes.

  3. Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Using a blender or food processor, grind the Oreo and Nutter Butter cookies separately into fine crumbs.

  2. In two bowls, mix each set of cookie crumbs with 3 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined.

  3. Spoon the cookie mixtures randomly into a 9-inch pie plate, then press them firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.

  4. Freeze for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, whipped cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

  2. Gently fold in the Cool Whip, being careful not to overmix to keep the filling light and fluffy.

Assemble the Pie:

  1. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled crust.

  2. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate ganache over the filling and smooth it out with a spatula.

  3. Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s cups on top before the ganache sets.

  4. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the ganache to firm up.

Serving & Storage Tips

  • For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (if it lasts that long!).

  • Want to take it up a notch? Drizzle melted peanut butter or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving!

This Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie is the ultimate way to satisfy your chocolate-peanut butter cravings. Whether you’re sharing (or keeping it all to yourself—I won’t judge!), every bite is pure bliss! 🍫🥜✨
