Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie (No Bake!)

If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate (who isn’t?), this no-bake Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie is your dessert dream come true. It’s rich, creamy, chocolatey, and indulgent—basically everything you love about Reese’s, but super-sized into a show-stopping pie. This dessert has become a family favorite in my kitchen, especially for birthdays and holiday tables. The best part? No baking required!

Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Additional:

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Assorted Reese’s candies (Reese’s Pieces, Mini Reese’s Cups, etc.) for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer for best results.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Combine & Fill

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream—use light, sweeping motions until fully combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.

Step 4: Make the Ganache

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6: Decorate & Chill

Top the pie with a generous scattering of Reese’s candies. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is set and firm enough to slice.
