Reese's Peanut Butter No-Bake Pie

Ingredients

• 24 whole chocolate sandwich cookies
• 40 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups,
• ¼ c. unsalted butter, melted
• 1- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
• 1¾ c. powdered sugar, divided
• 1 -16.3 oz. chunky peanut butter, about 1¾ c.
• 2 c. heavy cream
• 1 t. pure vanilla extract
• ¼ c. dry roasted peanuts, chopped
• 2 oz. milk chocolate, broken into pieces

Steps

1. In a tall bowl, whip heavy cream with a mixer until you start to see a defined trail through the cream. Add vanilla and slowly add ¾ cup powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining ingredients.
2. In a food processor, combine cookies and 20 peanut butter cups. Pulse until mixture is crumbly. Slowly pour butter in through the feed tube. Pulse until combined and crumbs are moistened.
3. Pour crumbs into a 9 inch pie plate and press mixture on the bottom and around the sides to form pie crust. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
4. To prepare the filling: Combine cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer until light and fluffy , about 3 minutes. Add peanut butter. Beat until well combined. Fold in ½ of the whipped cream until it is completely incorporated. Pour into chilled pie crust. Smooth with a spatula. Pour remaining whipped cream over top. Place in the refrigerator while preparing toppings.
5. Place the milk chocolate in a microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until chocolate is melted. Set aside.
6. Quarter the remaining 20 mini peanut butter cups.
7. Sprinkle peanut butter cups over pie. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over pie. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over pie (or transfer chocolate to a plastic sandwich bag and cut a very small hole in the corner, then drizzle over pie).
8. Refrigerate until ready to serve or serve immediately.
