Ingredients
(Makes one 9-inch (23cm) pie)
For the Chocolate Crust:
- 300g chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 350g creamy peanut butter
- 100g powdered sugar
- 50g graham cracker crumbs (for texture, optional but recommended)
- 60g (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 300g chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Chocolate Crust
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 300g of chocolate chips and 2 tbsp of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour half of the melted chocolate into the pie pan and spread evenly along the bottom and sides to create a thick chocolate shell.
- Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
Step 2: Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the hardened chocolate crust. Use a spatula to press it down firmly and smooth the top.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Topping
- Reheat the remaining melted chocolate mixture, if needed, until smooth. Pour it over the peanut butter filling, spreading it to fully cover the top.
- Tap the pie pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or the freezer for 30 minutes) until fully set.
- Once firm, carefully remove the pie from the pan and slice into rich, Reese’s-style wedges.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Peanut Butter Cup Pie
???? Use High-Quality Chocolate – The better the chocolate, the better the taste! Use real chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars for the best results.
???? Crunchy vs. Creamy – If you love texture, use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth!
❄ Chill for Clean Slices – To get perfect, clean slices, use a warm knife (run under hot water and dry before slicing).
???? Sweetness Control – Want it less sweet? Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer, slightly bitter contrast.
???? Texture Boost – The graham cracker crumbs add a slight crunch, but you can also use crushed Oreo cookies or vanilla wafer crumbs for a twist!
Creative Variations to Try
???? Spicy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon to the chocolate for a fun kick!
???? Banana Peanut Butter Cup Pie – Add a thin layer of sliced bananas on top of the peanut butter filling for a fruity surprise.
???? Nutty Twist – Mix in chopped peanuts, almonds, or cashews for a bit of crunch.
???? Oreo Peanut Butter Pie – Use crushed Oreo cookies instead of graham crackers in the filling for a cookies-and-cream twist.
☕ Mocha Peanut Butter Pie – Stir in 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder into the chocolate for a mocha-inspired version.
What to Serve with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie
???? With Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream takes it to the next level.
