Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

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

Nutter Butter Cookies: These cookies form the base of your crust; choose fresh ones for maximum crunch.
Unsalted Butter: Melted butter binds the cookie crumbs perfectly; make sure it’s unsalted to control the flavor.
Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds richness and tanginess; let it sit out before mixing for easy blending.
Powdered Sugar: This sweetener gives that perfect frosting-like sweetness without being grainy; sift if clumpy.
Peanut Butter: Use creamy or crunchy based on your texture preference; natural peanut butter works best for flavor.
Whipped Topping: The lightness of whipped topping balances the density of cream cheese; use store-bought or homemade.
Chocolate Shavings (optional): These add an extra layer of decadence; use a vegetable peeler on chocolate bars for thin shavings.

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

Let’s Make It Together

Prepping this pie is as simple as pie (pun intended), but let’s break it down so you can impress everyone with minimal effort.

Create the Cookie Crust: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse 24 Nutter Butter cookies until they resemble fine crumbs—think sand on a tropical beach.

Add Melted Butter: In a bowl, mix those cookie crumbs with ½ cup melted unsalted butter until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

Bake the Crust: Press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely while you prepare the filling.

Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In another large bowl, beat together 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup peanut butter and mix well until fluffy—this will make your kitchen smell heavenly

Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 8 oz whipped topping until fully incorporated. The filling should be light but still thick enough to spread easily over your cooled crust.

Assemble Your Pie: Pour this luscious filling into your cooled cookie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight if you can wait that long—it only gets better!

When ready to serve, top with additional whipped topping and chocolate shavings if desired. Slice, serve, and watch as everyone reaches for seconds!

This Nutter Butter Pie is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience packed with nostalgia and flavor that will leave everyone asking for your secret recipe—and we both know I won’t tell them!
