Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Nutter Butter Cookies: These delightful cookies form the perfect base with their rich peanut butter flavor and crunch.
• Unsalted Butter: Melting unsalted butter helps bind the cookie crust together beautifully.
• Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese gives the filling its luscious texture; make sure it’s at room temperature.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling without adding any graininess; sift it if clumps form.
• Peanut Butter: Use creamy or crunchy based on your preference—both options are delicious.
• Whipped Topping: Lightens up the filling and adds an airy finish; homemade whipped cream can also be used.
• Chocolate Syrup (optional): Drizzle some on top for an extra layer of decadence; it’s totally worth it.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Create the Cookie Crust: Start by crushing the Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and smashing them with a rolling pin until fine. Combine these crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well mixed.

Press Into the Pan: Firmly press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling so it can firm up.

Make The Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well until fully incorporated; then add creamy peanut butter and blend until everything is silky and combined.

Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula until fully combined. This creates that light texture we all desire.

Fill The Crust: Pour the delicious peanut butter filling into your chilled cookie crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Don’t skimp on licking that spatula clean—it’s heavenly.

Chill Before Serving: Cover your pie with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours—or overnight if you’re feeling patient—to allow it to set perfectly.

Enjoy every slice of this amazing creation. Happy indulging.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Begin by crushing Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs for the base. Mix them with melted butter and press firmly into a pie dish. Then, whip the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and combine with whipped cream for the filling.

Add Your Touch

Consider adding chocolate chips or peanut butter drizzle on top for extra flavor. You can also swap Nutter Butter cookies for another favorite cookie if you’re feeling adventurous. Experimenting is half the fun of baking.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. There’s no need to reheat this pie; it’s best served chilled, so enjoy it straight from the fridge.

There was that one summer when I made this Nutter Butter Pie for a family BBQ, and it vanished faster than my cousin could say “seconds.” The laughter and joy around that dessert table are moments I cherish, reminding me how food brings people together.
