Tip and Tricks for The BEST Reeses Pie
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture without lumps in the filling.
- Smooth Peanut Butter: Opt for smooth peanut butter for the creamiest results. If you use natural peanut butter, make sure to stir it thoroughly to combine the oil and solids before adding it to the filling.
- Decoration: For a stunning presentation, use an offset spatula to smooth the top of the filling, and sprinkle chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and milk chocolate chips evenly on top. Drizzling melted peanut butter adds a beautiful finishing touch as well.
- Chill Time: For the best pie consistency, allow the pie to chill in the fridge for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or overnight if possible. This will help the peanut butter layer set and make slicing easier.
How To Store Leftovers
- Place the pie in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will keep the pie from absorbing any odors and help maintain its creamy peanut butter filling texture.
- Store the pie in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The peanut butter mixture and chocolate crust will stay fresh, making it a great dessert to enjoy later.
- If you’d like to store the whole pie or slices for a longer period, freeze it. Wrap the pie in plastic wrap and then cover it with aluminum foil. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the fridge until it reaches room temperature for the best texture.
