Ingredients for Giant Reese’s Pie
For the Chocolate Crust:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups milk or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
How to Make Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie
Step 1: Make the Chocolate Crust
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour into a 9-inch round pie dish (or springform pan). Use a spoon to spread the melted chocolate up the sides and across the bottom. Chill in the fridge or freezer until firm.
Step 2: Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
In a large bowl, mix peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat until fluffy and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly into the chilled chocolate crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Topping
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil as you did for the crust. Pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Tap the dish lightly to remove air bubbles and smooth the surface.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2–3 hours or until completely set. For best slicing, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
