Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 16 Nutter Butter cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 Nutter Butter cookies, chopped into small chunks
Topping (Optional)
- Crushed peanuts or additional crushed Nutter Butter cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush 16 Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter in a bowl and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until incorporated well, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Add cookie chunks: Chop the remaining 8 Nutter Butter cookies into small chunks and carefully fold them into the filling, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled Nutter Butter crust and smooth out the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a clean surface.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firmly set and chilled through.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally garnish the top with crushed peanuts or additional crushed Nutter Butter cookies for added texture and presentation. Slice and enjoy this deliciously creamy peanut butter pie.
Notes
- This pie can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator to enhance flavors and texture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the pie with chocolate or caramel sauce just before serving.
- To make it from scratch, substitute the crust with a homemade peanut butter cookie crust for a fully homemade pie experience.
