How to make Reese’s pie with step-by-step instructions

Making our Reeses peanut butter pie is easy if you follow our simple instructions.

A complete printable recipe and the measurements in both US customary and metric are available in the recipe card below.

You don’t have to make your own pie crust; you can try these and save yourself some time and make it a truly no-bake dessert.

But for those who want to make their own, here’s the recipe!

Optional: For the Graham cracker pie crust

You don’t have to bake your pie crust; it will hold together but if you would like to make it, here’s the recipe.

Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.

Using a food processor or blender, blitz the Graham crackers until they are fine bread crumbs.

It will look grainy.

Then place the Graham cracker crumbs in a mixing bowl and stir in the granulated sugar, then the melted butter.

The crumb mixture should be grainy; if there are any big chunks, then break them up.

Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch cake pan and, using your hands, press down on the crumbs so that the base and sides are covered; you don’t want to press too hard; ensure that it’s no longer crumbly.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Use the back of a spoon to compact the edges of the base.

Bake your Graham cracker crust for 15 minutes, then place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

For the hot fudge sauce

If you want to skip this step, you can always buy your fudge sauce.

In a saucepan over medium heat, add sweetened condensed milk and milk chocolate chips, and constantly stir until the chocolate chips have melted.

Remove the pan from the heat, add butter, and stir until the butter has melted.

Now pour the hot fudge sauce over the cooled crust so that the crust is covered but not too thickly, then set the remaining sauce aside.

For the pie filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth; then, using a rubber spatula, fold in half the cool whip topping.

Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the pie crust and place the remaining whipped topping over it so that the filling is covered.

Smooth the topping with the back of a spoon and chill for a minimum of 2 hours.

When ready to serve, decorate with chopped peanut butter cups, peanuts, and hot fudge sauce.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Peanut butter
    Don’t use chunky peanut butter for this recipe; you’ll need creamy.
  • Cool whip
    Make sure you use cool whip and not homemade whipped cream, as this won’t be firm enough.
  • Sauce
    Substitute the fudge sauce for chocolate syrup or melted chocolate if you prefer.
  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 3 months.

What size peanut butter cups do I need?

We’ve used mini peanut butter cups as we love their size and look, but you could use giant peanut butter cups and chop them into smaller pieces if you prefer.

How to store leftover Reese’s peanut butter cup pie

Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

It needs to be refrigerated because it contains cream.

Yes, you can!

Our peanut butter Reese’s pie recipe freezes really well and will freeze for 3 months.

You can even serve it frozen if you would like!
