This Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff tastes like the inside of a peanut-butter cup turned into a cloud — light, nutty, and dotted with chocolate crunch. It comes together in minutes and smells like toasted peanuts and vanilla the moment you stir it.

H2: Let’s talk about Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff
I make this whenever friends stop by unexpectedly or when I want a sweet fix that’s more pillowy than a dense peanut-butter cup. The whipped cream keeps it airy so a single spoonful melts almost immediately on your tongue, leaving a buttery peanut finish. If you like desserts with an easy, fluffy lift, you might also enjoy my take on a classic butternut squash and goat cheese lasagna for something savory and comforting.
H2: Why you’ll love it
This recipe is unbelievably forgiving: no tempering, no baking, no timers — just stir until smooth. The powdered sugar gives a gentle, dusted sweetness that keeps the peanut butter from tasting too salty, while the whipped cream keeps the whole thing soft enough to scoop straight onto crackers. It’s reliable because the ratio of 1 cup peanut butter to 1 cup whipped cream gives a stable, spreadable fluff every time.
H2: A little story about this dish
One afternoon I made this for a kid’s art playdate and everyone hovered around the bowl, spoons clinking as they dug in — the sound of tiny spoons tapping the glass is forever linked with the memory. The texture surprised them: fluffy but rich, with tiny pops of chocolate when I sprinkled on Reese’s Pieces. If you want a savory contrast later, I sometimes serve it alongside a warm fall plate like this roasted butternut with honey for an odd but delicious pairing.
H2: How to make Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff
This is a hands-off, one-bowl recipe that lives up to its name. Put the peanut butter and powdered sugar in first so the sugar starts to soften into the fat, then fold in the whipped cream and vanilla until the mixture is glossy and even. A good visual doneness cue: the fluff should look smooth and hold soft folds — glossy, peanut-butter colored ribbons will fall slowly when you lift your spatula and the airiness from the whipped cream will still be visible. You’ll also notice a warm, roasted peanut aroma as the mixture comes together.
H2: Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, Chocolate chips or Reese’s pieces for topping
H2: Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract., 2. Mix until smooth and well blended., 3. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with chocolate chips or Reese’s pieces., 4. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
H2: The best way to enjoy Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff
Scoop this fluff onto graham crackers, apple slices, or warm pancakes for a playful twist; the contrast of the cool fluff with a warm flapjack is delightful. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days — the texture firms slightly as it chills but stays scoopable. You can freeze it for up to a month in a sealed tub; thaw overnight in the fridge and stir gently before serving. If it’s too firm straight from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes and stir to soften — no reheating needed.
H2: Tips and variations
Tip 1: Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest result; natural peanut butter can be grainy and will change the texture.
Tip 2: Don’t overmix — once the powdered sugar is incorporated and no streaks of whipped cream remain, stop; overbeating can deflate the fluff and make it dense.
Optional variations: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter version (optional), or swap half the peanut butter for almond butter for a nuttier aroma (optional).
H2: Common questions
Q: How long will this keep in the fridge?
A: Stored in an airtight container, it will stay good for 4–5 days; it tastes freshest the first two days.
Q: Can I use natural peanut butter?
A: Yes, but natural brands can separate and make the fluff slightly grainy — stir the peanut butter well before measuring and expect a less glossy finish.
Q: What if my fluff is too stiff or too runny?
A: If too stiff, fold in a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired softness. If too runny, add a little more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thicken it without losing the fluffy texture.
