How to Make Chocolate Stuffed Pie

Ingredients:

20 Nutter Butters
6 tbsp melted butter
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
20 Reese’s peanut butter cups
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup melted chocolate

Directions:

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9” pie dish with nonstick spray. Use a food processor to pulse the Nutter Butters into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let it cool to room temperature.
Fudge Layer: In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust, then gently place the Reese’s peanut butter cups on top. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Peanut Butter Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fluffy and well combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently. Spread this layer over the fudge layer, drizzling with melted chocolate on top. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
