Peanut Butter Pie
This delicious peanut butter pie is smooth, creamy, and bursting with peanut butter flavor. It has the rich consistency of cheesecake but is much easier to make, topped with a luscious chocolate ganache and sprinkled with mini Reese's cups.
Ingredients
Crust
- 22 Nutter Butters
- 5 tbsp Melted Butter
Filling
- 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Ganache
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping
- 1 package mini Reeses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a food processor, add the Nutter Butters and chop into a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and pulse until it has the consistency of wet sand.
- Press into a greased pie plate and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pie crust and allow to cool fully.
- Add all the filling ingredients into the bowl of a standing mixer and mix until combined. Turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until thickened and the consistency of frosting.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cream and the chocolate chips, microwave for 30 seconds, and then stir rapidly. Repeat, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the ganache on top of the peanut butter pie, and sprinkle the mini Reeses.
