Description

A giant-sized twist on everyone’s favorite candy, this Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie features a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, a rich and creamy peanut butter filling, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping. It’s the ultimate dessert for peanut butter and chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

24 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill for 15 minutes to firm up.

2. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.

4. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top and place the pie in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.

5. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream until simmering. Pour it over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.

6. Let ganache cool slightly, then pour over the peanut butter filling. Spread evenly.

7. Chill for at least 1 hour more, until ganache is set. Slice with a hot knife for clean edges.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.

Use high-quality chocolate for a ganache that sets beautifully and slices clean.

Refrigerate at least 3 hours total for the best structure and flavor.
