My sisters and I are about 3 years apart in age, and we have a lot in common…although there is one thing that ‘bonds’ us in a downright silly way…(to the point that we act like 5th graders when it’s around!) That one thing is Peanut Butter!!! I’m not really sure what started this ‘peanut butter’ phenomenon between the three of us, but my bet is that it had something to do with the rich chocolate peanut butter cake my mom used to make for our birthday when we were growing up!
Well…The years of eating a huge slice of cake (with endless amounts of saturated fat) eventually must come to an end… (lets consider the health of our hearts here people…not just calories!) However, the desire to have a traditional birthday celebration (and the cake that comes with it) never dies, no matter how old your turning! Which is why I created this simple, yet oh so satisfying Reese’s style frozen pie!
I would strongly recommended letting the pie sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to let the frozen pie soften a bit.

Yummy..I might have to steal, ummm I mean borrow this recipe for my site! I have all this stevia I am suppose to review on recipes…have any more stevia recipes?
Katie Farrell said:
@girgetsstrong Yes! Almost all of my recipes use stevia..but I do give the option to use splenda/honey/agave nectar, ect! I also have a link comparing the ‘sweeteners’ out there! :) Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you make it…and what you thought if you do!
Kathryn said:
For this pie, can I use agave nectar in place of stevia??
This sounds yummy and I’d like to make it for my husband’s birthday this week!!
Dashing Dish said:

hi i just learned about fitnutz, …and ordered their sugar free version:). then i went online and found another type, it has 1 gram of fat more per serving but you get five times as much for the price. plus you can get plain peanut buter powder, no sugar! its at “beprepared.com” or something like that, i dont know if you are interested but i was pretty happy with it, trying to cut out sugar is tough:) but im doin’ it.ttyl
Maggie said:
OMG i love PB and i am going to have to try this…after my show that is! wow!
Ann said:
I made this pie over the weekend with Fitnutz and my husband and I LOVED IT!
Elizabeth said:
Katie, I just found your blog this week, and this is the first recipe I found. I made it last night for a little get together this evening, and I tried a little of the filling–SO GOOD! I drizzled and swirreled some extra chocolate sauce on top and it looks amazing!
Elizabeth said:
They LOVED IT! My husband did too! One of my favorite parts was how fluffy it was, yet it tasted so rich.

Katie,
I found your site through your sister’s Sarah site via facebook. When I saw this I was pretty excited because I make a reese’s peanut butter pie for my boys here that we love. I made this last night and the funny thing was is my non sweet eater bf said this is good for those who like sugar. I couldn’t believe the difference just cutting the full fledge fat ingredients in half. And we had it before it set up frozen and it tasted like the one I always make. Thanks for the great recipe. I like checking to see what new things you have made as well. Some great ideas.

Katie,
So I have been following you for quite a while now. I have made so many of your recipes and I must say that this is one of my absolute favorites! I doubled the recipe to make two pies at once. I am serving it for my Mom’s birthday. You are soo stinkin cute and I am so thankful to have found your site! Thank you so much!
P.S. Don’t worry, I also made your fettucine alfredo recipe tonight! The husband loved it!
Mary Beth said:
This one tastes JUST LIKE a peanut butter cup.
Karla said:
A pb pie that tastes just like a peanut butter cup?!?! I think I just found the recipe I am going to use for my birthday celebration next week!
Ana Maria said:
i made this for a family friend’s birthday dinner and he still talks about how good it was, and couldn’t believe it wasn’t unhealthy!
Ashley Marg said:
this pie is perfect.. i am a peanut butter FANATIC, so when i saw this recipe, i used it instead of a less healthy recipe i’ve made before. when i’m in the mood for something like this, it’s a toss up between the peanut butter or the cookies and cream as my husband would usually prefer cookies and cream.. but since i’m usually making it–i usually win with peanut butter ;)! THANKS AGAIN!
Cheryl said:
Made this last night.. It was fantastic.. Boyfriend ate 2 pieces even..
Amanda said:
Tried it. loved it. husband loved it. So easy. So so easy. :)
Jennifer said:
Could you use the peanut flour or PB2 in this instead of FitNutz?
Danya said:
Just made this tonight.. and the pie batter filling was so delicious! Can’t wait to eat some tomorrow! Hopefully my roommate hasn’t eaten it all by the time I get home =)
Sarah said:
Do you measure out 1/2 cup of the fitnutz butter or do you use less/more?
Shawna said:
Hi Katie! This sounds sooooo good! How much peanut flour should I use to sub for the regular PB? Still a 1/2 cup?
Thanks!
Dashing Dish said:
same amount once the pf is mixed with water to make ‘pb’
Josephine Peyton Sturkey said:
hey love! are the weight watchers points calculated using regular peanut butter or with peanut flour? going to the beach next week and this MUST get made for the fam!!! thank you for all that you do :)
The Blissful Baker said:
Woah! This look too good to be true! Thanks for sharing :)
Nancy said:
The picture of the pie looks wonderful and I love the fact that it is healthier. But the picture looks like there are 2 layers in the filling. Was that just the lighting?
Dashing Dish said:
thanks nancy! i added a layer of cool whip with cocoa powder on top of the ice cream because it was my bday cake! :)
Jessica Jackson said:
This doesn’t have to be baked at all?! You refer to ice cream in an earlier reply…..how did you do that part? Sounds delish!
Jessica Jackson said:
There is no baking?
Dashing Dish said:
no baking :)
Josephine Peyton Sturkey said:
hey sweet girl! how do you use peanut flour in this recipe? do you have to add water to it to make the equivalent of 1/2 cup regular peanut butter? also, do you know what the weight watchers points plus value would be using peanut flour? sorry for all the questions!!! thank you in advance for your help!!!
lena walton said:
This looks so amazing!
In New Zealand, we don’t have cool whip. What is it like? I want to find a replacement but I can’t replace it because I don’t know what it is :)
Thank you! :)
Dashing Dish said:
it is like whip cream but a lighter alternative!
Anna @ The Guiltless Life said:
Commenting on this WAY too late, but quick question as I want to make this! When you say “chill the pie” do you put it in the fridge or freezer? I ask because you then say to let it sit for about 15 minutes but as it’s just been in the fridge I wouldn’t imagine it needs to sit that long, unless it had been frozen??
Thanks girl!

Dee Lish said:
Hi! So I just made this, and it looks delicious! I’m freezing it right now, hope that’s right. However I’m a little confused because your tip says to let the ice cream thaw for 15-30 min before eating, but ice cream isn’t on the ingredients list. Let me know if I missed something!
Dashing Dish said:
nope that was just an error on my part :)
sally @ sallys baking addiction said:
Hi Katie! I just found this recipe of your on Pinterest and I must say, I am completely excited to recreate it for my boyfriend on his birthday. We both LOVE peanut butter + chocolate and I could not be more excited to surprise him with this! I’ve made your skinny pb chocolate swirl brownies before and they are one of my mod popular recipes! I love visiting dashing dish, Katie! :)
Jessica said:
Made this and the lasagna for an office party today & everyone LOVED IT!!! Had everyone wanting the recipe. Dashing Dish is my secret weapon :) Glad I stumbled on this website this week.
Tara Jackson said:
Katie, can I use pb2 instead of peanut flour? Also, are peanut flour and pb2 the same thing…so I’ll quit asking about pb2 substitutions. Thanks! =)
Dashing Dish said:
yes! :) and yes!
Deukap said:
Shut the front door!!! This pie looks like glorious peanut butter heaven!
Jennie Meltzer said:
Hey Katie!
What is the nutrition facts/ WW points of this dish with the PB flour instead of the peanut butter?
Thanks!
Jennie
Elle said:
Hi! My son has a peanut allergy. Would I be able to make this with SunButter (sunflower seed “peanut butter”) or PB2? SunButter is a little more liquidy than reg PB. Thanks!!!!
Dashing Dish said:
sure
Nicole Schauer said:
Made this for dessert the other night when we had my parents over and everyone LOVED it. Even my hubby ate a nice big chunk and he doesn’t normally like sweets – healthy or not :) I’m so so thankful to have found your blog and this recipe. Chocolate/peanut butter is my favorite dessert combo (and biggest weakness) and this satisfies even the most wicked craving.
