Start with a pre-baked pie crust. You can use a store-bought crust or make your own from scratch. Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and well combined. This mixture should be thick and creamy.
3. Fill the Pie Crust
Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Make sure the filling is smooth and level.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Add the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Scatter the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups evenly over the peanut butter filling in the pie crust. Press them down gently so they are slightly embedded in the filling.
6. Pour the Ganache
Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling and mini Reese’s cups, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Ensure the ganache covers the entire surface of the pie.
7. Chill the Pie
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set and the filling is firm. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and makes the pie easier to slice.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Once the pie is set, slice it into generous pieces and serve. Enjoy the rich, creamy, and chocolatey goodness of this indulgent dessert.
