Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 oz) package Nutter Butter cookies – crushed, with 1/4 cup reserved for topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter – melted, for binding the crust
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese – softened, adds creamy texture
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter – the main flavor base
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar – for sweetness
- 1 cup Cool Whip – folded into the filling for lightness
- Additional Cool Whip – for topping the pie
- 1/4 cup peanut butter – melted for drizzle topping
Instructions
- Crush one 16-ounce package of Nutter Butter cookies in a food processor. Reserve 1/4 cup of crumbs for topping.
- Mix the remaining crushed cookies with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill while preparing the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip until the filling becomes light and airy.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
- Top with a layer of Cool Whip and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Warm 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle over the top in a crosshatch pattern.
- Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs around the edges or across the surface of the pie.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving to allow the pie to set properly.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter only; natural or crunchy varieties may separate and affect texture.
- Chilling the pie overnight gives the best consistency.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Pie can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight before serving.
- Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or crushed peanuts for extra flair.
