3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and fit the pie crust into a pie plate, creating decorative flutes along the edge.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Blend in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the Reese’s Pieces and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press the dough mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the pie for 35 minutes, or until set and golden brown on top.
- Allow the pie to cool for about an hour before serving to allow it to set properly.
- Optional: Serve slices of the pie with a scoop of your favorite ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent treat.
Serving Tips:
- Allow the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Pie to cool for about an hour after baking before slicing and serving. This helps the pie set properly and ensures neat slices.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve each slice of the pie with a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream. The combination of warm pie and cold ice cream is irresistible!
- Drizzle each serving with a bit of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for added decadence and flavor.
- Garnish each slice with a few additional Reese’s Pieces or chopped peanut butter cups for a beautiful presentation and extra crunch.
- Pair each serving with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee for the perfect dessert experience.
Storage Tips:
- Store any leftover Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer to keep the pie longer, you can refrigerate it for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
- To freeze the pie, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- When ready to enjoy, thaw the frozen pie in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat slices in the microwave for a few seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- For best results, consume the pie within 1 month of freezing to preserve its flavor and texture.
