• Cream Cheese: It lends a subtle tangy flavor and a rich texture to the pie filling. Make sure it is softened to room temperature before you add it to prevent lumps.
• Peanut Butter: Any variety of creamy peanut butter will work here. You may even use the Reese’s brand peanut butter if you like.
• Powdered Sugar: The sweetness of the powdered sugar balances the tangy cream cheese and slightly salty peanut butter. It mixes seamlessly without any grittiness.
• Whipped Topping: I like to fold in Cool Whip to make the peanut butter mixture light and luscious. Ensure it is thawed before you add it.
• Graham cracker crust: Any store-bought graham cracker crust is great or you can make it yourself!
• Peanut butter cups and chocolate syrup: Chopped peanut butter cups and a drizzle of chocolate syrup add texture and create a lovely presentation. Plus, chocolate and peanut butter are a wonderful match!

Storage

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Cover it tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before cutting a slice.
• Make Ahead of Time: Prepare the peanut butter pie the night before and let it chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. You can do this 2-3 days before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Add a drizzle of Banana Syrup for extra sweetness and banana flavor.
• Make a peanut butter-inspired meal and enjoy Peanut Butter Bacon Burger. Finish the meal with a Butterfinger Shot or Snickers Shot.

Recipe Tips

• Try chilling overnight: The longer the Reese's pie sits in the refrigerator, the better. It helps the flavors to come together and ensures it is fully set.
• Use a sharp knife: For even slices, make sure your knife is sharp. You may also wipe it off in between slices to keep them clean.
• Use smooth peanut butter: Chunky peanut butter will change the texture and natural peanut butter will separate and make the filling oily.
