Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Nutter Butter Cookies: These iconic cookies serve as both the crust and flavor base for our pie; get the original version for the best taste.
Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing and a rich texture in the filling.
Confectioners’ Sugar: This adds sweetness without grittiness; adjust based on your preferred level of sweetness.
Peanut Butter: Choose creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; chunky can add delightful texture but may be harder to mix.
Cool Whip: This lightens up the filling and adds fluffiness; feel free to use homemade whipped cream if you prefer.
Chocolate Syrup (Optional): For drizzling on top; it adds an extra layer of decadence and visual appeal.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Create Your Cookie Crust: Start by crushing 24 Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin. Add melted butter and mix until combined.

Press Into Pan: Firmly press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Bake in preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until set.

Prepare Filling Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in confectioners’ sugar and peanut butter until well blended.

Add Cool Whip: Gently fold in Cool Whip into your peanut butter mixture until combined. The goal is lightness—no one wants a dense pie

Fill Your Crust: Carefully pour your luscious filling into the cooled cookie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours to set properly.

Garnish & Serve: Once set, drizzle chocolate syrup over top if desired before slicing into glorious pieces. Serve cold and watch those smiles appear
