Quick & Easy Reese’s Pie : Tasty Tuesday 02.2021

Quick & Easy Reese's Pie: Tasty Tuesday 02.2021

Sweet eaters and readers, happy belated Valentine’s Day and welcome to Tasty Tuesday 02.2021.  Today’s post is part of the Favorite Treats for Your Sweets recipe swap and blog hop.  Try saying that with your mouth full!!  Hope this link up with all the recipes we share will be a treat to all of you.

Whether you’re hungry or just like to eat, you’ve hit the jackpot!  This gaggle of gals has gathered together to share some of our favorite recipes with YOU.  And with each other, of course.  Before we get started today, you can check out last year’s recipes, here.  And, if you are hopping here from Deb’s blog at Deb’s World, thank you!!

Favorite Treats for Your Sweets

Reese's Pie

One of the activities on this year’s winter bucket list is trying 3 new recipes.  I have tried a new cocktail, and a new main dish.  So making this Reese’s pie will allow me to put that nice green check mark for mission accomplished!  ✔️

Let’s not waste another precious minute!  So, grab your apron and meet me in the kitchen.

LET’S GET COOKING:  Reese’s Pie

One of PC’s favorite candies is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce that name…Reese’s?  Do you say Ree-sus or Ree-sees?  I say Ree-sus Peanut Butter Cups.  But hear a lot of folks pronouncing it the other way…including my Prince.  When I discovered the recipe for this Reese’s pie on Pinterest, I knew it would be a big hit at our house.  No matter how you pronounce its name!!

Ingredients

Reese's Pie

Here’s all you will need for this decadent dessert.

  • graham cracker pie crust (I used shortbread)
  • 8oz container Cool Whip (I used lite)
  • 8oz package cream cheese, softened (I used 1/3 fat less fat Neufchatel)
  • bag of miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – crushed (We used the snack-size, 15 because PC ate one)

Directions

  • Crush Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, we cut them into bite-sized bits with a knife

Reese's Pie

  • Blend the Cool Whip with the softened cream cheese

  • Add most of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (save some of the candy for the topping)

  • Spoon into pie crust
  • Sprinkle remaining chopped peanut butter cups on top

  • Refrigerate the pie in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving

Other Suggestions

You can add a 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter into the mixture for even more peanut butter flavor if you prefer.  Or maybe the same amount of Nutella?  Wouldn’t that be scrumptious?  But as is in the recipe, the pie has a cheesecake flavor.

I would also have used a few more peanut butter cups.  We didn’t have enough to cover the top of the pie completely.  Then again, it wasn’t quite as rich with fewer of the candies on the top layer.

Reese's Pie

This pie can also be made with other candies like Butterfinger, Snickers, Nestle’s Crunch.  The sky’s the limit!!

    That sounds scrumptious! I have made a similar pie a few times as most anything with peanut butter and chocolate is usually a big hit in this house.

    My son loves Reeses (we pronounce it Ree-sis!) but you can’t buy them everywhere over here. I had to google Cool Whip as we don’t have that over here at all but it seems that there may be alternatives that I could use to try it!

      Yes, I think I say Ree-sis, too. I think I put rees-sus but it is more rees-sis. Definitely not rees-sees!!
      Love that you had to Google Cool Whip. What do you call your alternative? You could use real whipped cream and that would
      be ultra divine.

    Sounds very tasty & I always appreciate a recipe share. While we can get many of the Reeses products, I don’t think I have seen the mini pieces any where.

      Thank you, Mary-Lou. I think you can just crumble any size of the candies you can find. I would say we needed another package of the size we used to completely cover the top of the pie properly. It was heavenly, though!!

    This sounds amazing Leslie. YUM! I love all things Peanut butter. I actually say “rees-sis” lol. I had to say it a few times to see how I say it since I guess I don’t pay attention. I enjoyed participating with everyone.

      I think I probably say rees-sis, too, or rees-sus, kind of the same. I love PB too. Chunky!! Thank you for joining me.

    Happy Tasty Tuesday, Leslie! My husband will LOVE this pie! If there could be only one candy in his life, it would be the humble Reese’s PB Cup. The original, not the extra huge ones… The proportion of PB to chocolate in those is not right. He’s the expert, and he says Ree-see’s. So I’ll go with that. Thank you for organizing this blog hop, and for inviting me to play along! I appreciate you!

    That looks decadent! We don’t get cool whip here – I’m assuming it’s canned cream? (which, incidentally, is something we don’t have over here.) I’m going to make a confession – I’ve never tried a Reese’s…and we can get them here now. I really must correct that oversight.

      Ha!! Yes, please try a Reese’s immediately!!
      You could use real whipped cream instead of the Cool Whip…it is just easier. I tried to find something similar
      available in Australia but only the aerosol whipped topping showed up. It might work but probably would hold
      together very well.

I will make it this weekend:) I would make it today but we are at the tail-end of today’s winter storm…which was a bit underwhelming. Mostly sleet and ice and very little snow. Just a cold mess. I do hope you are okay in your corner of Texas – my heart has been so concerned for those hurting (and cold) there! Praying you are safe and doing well!!
