How to make Reese’s pie with step-by-step instructions
Making our Reese’s peanut butter pie recipe 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.
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 or pie plate 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.
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 medium bowl, using either a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, 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.
Serve with ice cream or just as it is, and enjoy your Reeses pie!
We hope you enjoy making and eating your Reese’s pie and would love to hear how you got on with making it.

Recipe notes and expert tips
- Crust Perfection
Ensure your crust is firm and holds together. You can use a store-bought chocolate cookie crust or make one from scratch. - Cream Cheese Consistency
Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature before using it to achieve a smooth and creamy filling. - Peanut butter
Don’t use chunky peanut butter for this recipe; you’ll need creamy. - Sweeten Wisely
Be mindful of the sweetness. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, as some peanut butter brands are sweeter than others. - Layer Carefully
When layering the chocolate and peanut butter filling, be gentle to create distinct layers without blending them. - Sauce
Substitute the fudge sauce for chocolate syrup or melted chocolate if you prefer. - Switch Up the Bases
Want an Oreo crust instead of Grham crackers? Try our easy Oreo crust recipe, which delivers a delicious chocolate crust. - Chill Adequately
Refrigerate the pie for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly. - Slice with Warm Knife
Dip a knife in hot water before slicing to achieve clean, smooth cuts without dragging the filling. - 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.

Leftover pie – what’s that? If you do have any, you can store any pie covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
