Dessert of the Month: Reese’s™ Peanut Butter Cup Icebox Pie

Created January 10, 2017

In the heat of August, it’s only fitting that our Dessert of the Month is a cool and refreshing pie that doesn’t even require you to turn on your oven. With a crunchy pretzel crust, silky chocolate-and-peanut-butter filling and creamy whipped topping, this is a rich treat that’s just right for the season.

In the dog days of summer, the idea of turning the oven on has less than zero appeal. But at the same time, there are few things better than a sweet treat on a hot day. What’s a dessert lover to do? The answer is simple: Make August’s Dessert of the Month, Reese’s™ Peanut Butter Cup Icebox Pie. This cool, silky dessert layers peanut butter, chocolate pudding and whipped topping into a crunchy pretzel pie crust, balancing sweetness with just a hint of salt. For a showstopping presentation, the whole pie gets topped with drizzles of chocolate and peanut butter, plus Reese’s™ peanut butter cup miniatures. Bring this to the potluck, but make sure to snag a slice for yourself—it’ll disappear fast!
