• Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy and slightly tangy element to the filling, making it smooth and rich.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling without making it too heavy or gritty.
• Peanut Butter: The star of the show! Smooth peanut butter adds depth and richness to the filling.
• Whipped Topping (Cool Whip): For a light, airy texture that balances the richness of the filling.
• Vanilla Extract: For an extra layer of flavor to enhance the peanut butter.
• Chocolate Chips (optional): If you’re a fan of chocolate and peanut butter, you can sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top for the perfect finishing touch.

Instructions

Let’s walk through the easy steps to make this irresistible Nutter Butter Pie:

1. Make the Crust:

In a food processor, crush the Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Once the cookies are crushed, mix them with the melted butter until the crumbs are well-coated.

2. Form the Crust:

Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish, creating a nice, even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down so it holds together.

3. Make the Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the peanut butter and powdered sugar, then beat until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract to add extra flavor. Finally, fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4. Fill the Crust:

Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared Nutter Butter crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for a nice, even layer.

5. Chill:

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This step helps the pie set and allows the flavors to meld together.

6. Optional: Add Chocolate Chips:

Once the pie is set, you can sprinkle chocolate chips over the top for added richness and a lovely contrast with the peanut butter. If you prefer, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the top instead.

How to Serve Nutter Butter Pie

This Nutter Butter Pie is already irresistible on its own, but here are some ideas to elevate your serving experience:

• With Extra Whipped Cream: Serve the pie with an extra dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy treat.

Additional Tips

• Storage: Store any leftover pie in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 3 days. It can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks if you want to make it ahead of time.
• Make it Ahead: This pie is perfect for making in advance. The longer it chills, the better the flavors will meld together, so feel free to prepare it a day ahead.
• Customize the Crust: If you want to change things up, you can use a graham cracker crust instead of the Nutter Butter cookie crust, though it won’t have that delightful peanut butter flavor.
