Instructions
Preparing your Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie will be a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Form the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
5. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
6. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
7. Fill the Crust: Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled cookie crust and spread it evenly.
8. Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, allowing it to set.
9. Make the Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let cool slightly.
10. Add Topping: Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly. Garnish with chopped Reese’s cups on top.
11. Final Chill: Return the pie to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes or until the topping is firm.
