    This Reese's peanut butter pie with cream cheese is a family favorite. I decided to make this because I had a bag of Reese's miniature's lying around that needed used up! This peanut butter recipe only requires one block of cream cheese, which is easy on the budget. Peanut butter pie with heavy cream recipe makes about 8 slices.

    Can I make the crust in advance?

    Yes, you can! Just cook the crust according to directions and allow it to cool. Put a lid over it and store in a safe place at room temperature until ready to finish the recipe. This graham cracker crust can also be used for any other pie recipe that requires a graham cracker crust. I usually mass produce graham cracker crusts at home and store them, or keep a bunch of crushed graham crackers on hand at the very least. I do this so I do not have to buy one or make one right before I want to make a pie. We all know that crushing graham crackers takes forever!

    Main ingredient to use for this easy peanut butter pie recipe:

    • graham crackers-provides a solid crust foundation
    • butter-stick butter for the crust
    • peanut butter-Jif, I used the natural kind but you can use the regular as well
    • heavy cream-provides the white color
    • sugar-adds sweetness for the Reese's peanut butter pie
    • cream cheese-Philadelphia brand, provides thickness

    Overview of Reese's peanut butter pie instructions:

    • make the crust-don't over bake or it will be too crunchy
    • beat together peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla-this is to make the peanut butter less clumpy.
    • add in heavy cream and peanut butter cups-your filling is ready to go in this step.
    • pour filling into pie crust and decorate!

    Variations of this Reese's peanut butter pie:

    • omit the Reeses miniatures-I know not everyone has these on hand. This recipe may not taste the same without them, but it is not a necessity to make peanut butter pie. You can use chocolate chips instead.
    • regular sized Reeses-if you cannot find Reeses minatures, you can use the full sized candy and cut them into smaller pieces to fit your needs.
    • make it in a 9 x 13 baking dish-this would require doubling the recipe, but this peanut butter recipe does not have to be pie shaped.

    Tips for making peanut butter pie with heavy cream:

    • peanut butter-use original peanut butter. You can use natural, but it can be oily (I have done this before). If you don't mind it being oily, then that is up to you on which one to you.
    • warm up peanut butter-if your peanut butter has a hard time stirring because it is so stiff, warming up peanut butter in a glass bowl before adding can be an option.
    • freeze time-it can be tempting to feeze only for a little bit and take out and eat, but there is a reason for the freeze time: so the pie holds shape and sets.
    • toppings-the toppings are endless! You can top off peanut butter pie with ice cream, peanuts, whipped cream, chocolate chips, you name it.

    How to store no bake pie:

    I recommend storing the Reese's peanut butter pie in the refrigerator if you plan on eating a lot of the pie right away, or in the freezer if you want it to last longer. Definitely do not store it at room temperature.
