How to Make Reese’s Pie
Step #1: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, ¾ cup of confectioner’s sugar, and peanut butter until fluffy.
Step #2: In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until thick and light. Then, add in the remaining 2 Tablespoons of powdered sugar along with the vanilla extract and whip until stiff peaks form.
Step #3: Next, using a spatula, gently stir the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until everything has combined.
Step #4: Add in the chopped Reese’s cups into the batter and fold together.
Step #5: Pour the pie filling into the pie pan and freeze for 3 hours, or chill for 6 hours.
Step #6: After the pie has chilled, melt 2 Tbsp of peanut butter in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds and place it in a zip top bag. Then cut one of the corners making a small hole and zig zag across the top of the pie. Then turn the pie 90 degrees and zig zag across it again.
Step #7: Next, cut 4 mini peanut butter cups in half (if you refrigerate them for 5-10 minutes they are easier to cut cleanly in half) and place them evenly spaced around the edge of the pie.
Step #8: Finally, serve and enjoy!
Expert Tip
Chill the Peanut Butter Cups – For the decorative Reese’s cups if you chill them in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, it is easier to pull off the wrapper and get a clean cup to decorate with.

Nutrition
Could you possibly semi melt the Reese’s cups before you add to the peanut butter mixture?
Yes, if you want to have it more throughout the pie than in chunks.
