Method
Prepare the Crust
- Crush 20 Nutter Butter cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or your fingers to compact it.
- Place the pie crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling (at least 15 minutes).
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain and the mixture is light and uniform. Do not overmix.
Assemble and Chill
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled Nutter Butter crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, garnish the pie with coarsely crushed Nutter Butter cookies.
- For an extra touch, melt 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and drizzle over the pie. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate syrup as well.
- Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For best results, allow the pie to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. This ensures the filling is firm and easy to slice.
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Ensure cream cheese is truly softened to room temperature for a lump-free filling.
Do not overmix the whipped topping into the filling; gentle folding keeps it light and airy.
