Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 16 Nutter Butter cookies
- 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 sealing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter and stir until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing 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 the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Fold in whipped topping and cookies: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined, maintaining a light and fluffy texture. Then fold in the chopped 8 Nutter Butter cookies evenly throughout the filling.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set and chilled through.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally top the pie with crushed peanuts or additional crushed Nutter Butter cookies for added texture and presentation. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- This pie can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator to enhance flavors.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the pie before serving.
- To make a completely homemade version, consider using a homemade peanut butter cookie crust instead of store-bought Nutter Butter crumbs.
