Reese's Peanut Butter Fluff

Think of it as the fluffiest dessert mash-up between a peanut butter pie and your favorite candy bowl. Each spoonful is rich, fluffy, and surprisingly light thanks to whipped cream and cream cheese. Best of all? It comes together in under 10 minutes with zero baking required.


What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?

Creamy peanut butter is the best choice for achieving that silky smooth consistency. Natural peanut butter can separate and be oily, which may affect the fluff’s texture. For the ultimate Reese’s experience, you can even try a Reese’s brand spread if you want to double down on flavor.

Ingredients for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Cream Cheese – Brings a rich, tangy base that balances the sweetness and keeps the fluff stable.

Creamy Peanut Butter – The heart of the flavor. Use a smooth, no-stir peanut butter for best results.

Powdered Sugar – Adds the right touch of sweetness without making it grainy.

Vanilla Extract – Rounds out the flavor with a warm aroma.

Whipped Topping (Cool Whip) – Makes the fluff airy and soft. You can substitute with homemade whipped cream if preferred.

Mini Reese’s Cups – Chopped and folded into the mix for chewy, chocolatey bursts in every bite.

Caramel Sauce (optional) – A sweet drizzle over the top takes it to the next level.


How To Make the Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Step 1: Whip the Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until well combined and creamy.

Step 2: Fold in Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until the mixture is light and airy. Avoid overmixing to keep that dreamy texture.

Step 3: Add the Reese’s

Chop your mini Reese’s cups and fold them into the fluff. Reserve a handful to garnish the top.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the fluff for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Top with remaining Reese’s and an optional caramel drizzle right before serving.
