After the filling is ready, remove the prepared crust from the refrigerator. Pour the peanut butter filling into the crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top of the pie so that it’s level, and gently tap the pie dish on the counter to settle the filling.
For added texture and decoration, sprinkle the chopped mini peanut butter cups on top of the pie as a garnish. These little pieces of candy will not only add extra peanut butter flavor but also a delightful crunch to each bite.
Place the pie back in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. This step is crucial to ensure the pie holds its shape when sliced.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Creamy Peanut Butter Cup Pie chilled for the best texture. It’s a rich and indulgent treat on its own, but you can also top it with additional whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence. This pie pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.
Make-Ahead & Storage
This pie can be made up to 1 day in advance, making it a great option for meal prep or parties. Store the pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the pie for up to 1 month. Just make sure to cover it well with plastic wrap or foil to prevent freezer burn. To serve, allow the pie to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing.
