Frozen Reese’s Pie
Chances are you’ve had one of these frozen dessert cream pies before. They are such classics, easy to make and extremely versatile. I’ve used this same basic recipe to make frozen grasshopper pie, butterfinger pie and ton of other quick, no-bake frozen pies.
Lately though, I’ve been all about Reese’s so we’re gonna be making a Frozen Reese’s Pie! We call this “cookout pie” because it never fails for someone to bring one of these babies to a cookout. It’s a real crowd-pleaser. I think it’s actually called a candy bar pie since you can use your favorite crushed candy bars or a variety of candy bars as the topping.
This frozen Reese’s pie is for true chocolate peanut butter lovers. It’s rich, creamy and packs a lot of chocolately-peanut buttery flavor. The texture is like ice cream and frozen cheesecake. A little slice goes a long way.
I make these frozen pies a lot in the summer time when I want a cold desert without having to turn on the oven.
NOTE* In my video I didn’t have time to let it freeze overnight, only for about 4 hours and it resulted in a slighty firm & creamy texture that we actually really liked. So if you’re going for a really firm texture freeze overnight but if you’re going for the texture in the video freeze for about 4 hours.
Watch me make this Frozen Reese’s Pie from start to finish!

- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Freeze overnight for best results.
Let sit for 15 minutes before serving to soften up if needed.
Use a deep dish pie plate.
this recipe looks amazing how ever I have no idea what cool whip was and upon investigating it decided it sounds disgusting. Is there another alternative I can use like whip cream or something that won’t alter the outcome?
My family and I love love LOVE this pie! I have made several baked goods from scratch, and this is by far my family’s favorite. It is very inexpensive to make, extremely simple, and exceptionally delicious! I did, however, omit the chocolate chips and drizzled warm Nutella on top of the pie, and used white reese’s instead of milk chocolate. I will be making this again!
