Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can This be Frozen?

Absolutely! This pie is freezer-friendly. Before freezing, make sure it’s well wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent any sneaky freezer burns.

When you’re ready to serve, just transfer it to the fridge for several hours, or ideally overnight, to thaw.

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Oh, 100%! If you’re like me and love prepping things ahead, you can make this pie a day or even two before your event or gathering.

The flavors meld wonderfully during that time in the fridge. Just remember to add the toppings shortly before serving for that fresh, picture-perfect look.

Substitutions & Variations

Life’s too short to not play around with recipes. So, here are a few ideas:

• Crust Variations: Not a chocolate fan (who are you?!)? Use a regular graham cracker crust or an Oreo crust.
• Go Nutty: Swap out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
• Toppings Galore: Add some caramel drizzle, or maybe some crushed pretzels for a sweet and salty twist.

Helpful Cooking Notes

Alright, buddy, a couple of pro-tips for the road:

Creamy PB: For the silkiest filling, opt for commercial peanut butter brands as they tend to be smoother. Natural peanut butter might make the filling a bit grainy.

Knife Trick: Before slicing, dip your knife in hot water. It’ll glide through the pie like butter.

Chill Factor: Don’t skimp on the chill time! The pie firms up and the flavors come together beautifully during that time…the longer you chill, the better!

Well, there you have it – the path to a slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie nirvana.

Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or just satisfying a weekend craving, it’s bound to be a hit.

So, pop on an apron, gather your ingredients, and remember – in the grand debate of “fork or spoon,” there’s no wrong answer here!

Enjoy your pie-making adventure! 😊🥧🍫🥜
