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.

Graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. — Blitz Graham cracker biscuits until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.

Graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. — Add crumbs, sugar, and melted butter to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

Ingredients mixed together to form a crumb mixture. — 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.

Crumb mixture in pressed into cake pan uncooked. — Add the crumb mixture to a cake pan and press them down with your hands, using the back of a spoon for the edges.

Baked Graham cracker crust. — 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.

Chocolate chips in a pan with sweetened condensed milk, — Add milk chocolate chips to sweetened condensed milk and stir until melted.

Butter added to melted chocolate in a pan. — Remove from the heat, add butter, and stir until the butter has melted.

Graham cracker crust with hot fudge sauce poured on it. — Pour the hot fudge sauce over the Graham cracker crust.

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.

Powdered sugar and cream cheese mixed into peanut butter filling mixture. — Beat cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar together.

All the ingredients combined in a mixing bowl. — Beat until the mixture is smooth.

Peanut butter filling added to the pie crust. — Pour the pie filling on top of the crust.

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.

Whipped topping added to the pie. — Add whipped topping.

Broken Reeses peanut butter cups added to the top of the pie. — Garnish with broken Reese’s peanut butter cups.

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.
