Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened Let it sit at room temperature
- 1 cup chocolate chips For drizzling

Instructions
Create the Cookie Crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure the crust is evenly packed and comes up the sides slightly.
- Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add in the peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Assemble the Pie
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled cookie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly, then drizzle it over the top of the pie.
- For an extra touch, garnish with some additional chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Chill and Serve
- Cover and refrigerate your pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- When ready to serve, slice into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother filling. Don’t rush the chilling to enhance texture and flavor. You can experiment with toppings like mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies.
