Ingredients
  

1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for chocolate sauce)

3-4 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: whipped cream and additional chocolate shavings for serving

Instructions
 

Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.

    Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Be gentle to retain volume.

      Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the pre-made chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly. Tap the pie gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

        Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing it to set properly.

          Prepare the Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.

            Finish the Pie: Once the pie has set, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the chocolate.

              Serve: For an extra indulgent touch, serve slices of the pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired, and enjoy!
