Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
- 24 Nutter Butter cookies (crushed)
- 5 tbsps unsalted butter (melted)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 2 Nutter Butter cookies (crushed, for garnish)
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
- ¼ cup chocolate or caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Nutter Butter cookies into fine granules using a food processor, then blend with melted butter and firmly compact into a 9-inch pie dish, creating a uniform base.
- Chilling Base: Refrigerate the prepared crust for 15-20 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Cream Integration: Delicately incorporate whipped heavy cream into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring a light, airy consistency without deflating the volume.
- Filling Distribution: Carefully spread the peanut butter cream evenly across the chilled crust, creating a smooth, level surface.
- Final Chilling: Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and filling to set completely.
- Garnishing: Crown the chilled pie with a generous layer of whipped cream, sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies and chopped peanuts, then elegantly drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce for a decadent finish.
Notes
- Pulse Nutter Butter cookies into fine, even crumbs to ensure a stable, compact crust that holds together perfectly.
- Refrigerate the cookie crust for at least 15-20 minutes to prevent crumbling and create a firm base for the creamy filling.
- Fold whipped cream gently into the peanut butter mixture to maintain its light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Prepare the pie a day in advance for best flavor development and allow at least 4 hours of chilling time for optimal set and texture.
