Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust
  • 1 Pre-baked Pie Crust Use a store-bought or homemade chocolate crust for best flavor and ease.
For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1.5 cups Creamy Peanut Butter Opt for smooth peanut butter for the creamiest texture.
  • 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar Ensure it’s sifted to add the perfect sweetness without lumps.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Room temperature cream cheese blends smoothly for a velvety filling.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Whip until stiff peaks form to add lightness to the filling.
For the Ganache Topping
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips These provide a rich chocolate flavor that perfectly complements the peanut butter.
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream for Ganache Warm this slightly to achieve a silky-smooth mixing consistency.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, taking about 1-2 minutes total.
  6. Pour the warm ganache over the filled pie, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Before the ganache sets, decorate the top with an assortment of Reese’s candies.
  8. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  9. Once set, slice the pie with a warm knife and serve cold.
