Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

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

Nutter Butter Cookies: These cookies form the base of our pie crust; they add that signature peanut butter flavor.
Unsalted Butter: Use melted butter to help bind the cookie crust together perfectly.
Cream Cheese: Room temperature cream cheese gives our filling a smooth and rich texture.
Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling without adding graininess; choose good quality for best results.
Whipped Topping: Lightens the mixture; opt for frozen whipped topping for convenience.
Peanut Butter: Choose creamy or chunky depending on your preference; it adds depth and richness to the filling.
Chocolate Chips (optional): Add some chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence if you’re feeling adventurous!

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 preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush about 24 Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin until you achieve fine crumbs.

Add Melted Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine your cookie crumbs with ½ cup melted unsalted butter. Stir until evenly mixed; it should resemble wet sand.

Form the Crust: Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set. Let it cool completely.

Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, mix together 8 oz cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add in 1 cup peanut butter and mix until well blended.

Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 8 oz of thawed whipped topping until combined. The mixture should be light and fluffy.

Assemble Your Pie: Pour your creamy filling into the cooled cookie crust and spread evenly with a spatula. If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.

Let your masterpiece chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better! Serve chilled with an optional dollop of whipped topping on each slice.

Now you have your very own Nutter Butter Pie ready to steal the show at any gathering or cozy night in! Enjoy every delicious bite as you reminisce about those fun times shared over food—because let’s face it, nothing says love quite like dessert!
