Method
Prepare the Nutter Butter Crust
- Finely crush the Nutter Butter cookies. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs are formed.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Nutter Butter crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the crumbs are moistened.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or your fingers to create a firm, compact crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling, about 15 minutes.
Make the Creamy Peanut Butter Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the creamy peanut butter and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined, then increase speed and beat until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, which can deflate the whipped topping.
Assemble and Chill the Pie
- 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, until firm.
Serve
- Before serving, garnish with mini Nutter Butter cookies and chopped peanuts, if desired.
- Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For an extra indulgence, drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving. Store leftover Nutter Butter Pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can use a store-bought graham cracker crust as a shortcut, but the Nutter Butter crust adds superior flavor. Ensure cream cheese is truly softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
