Crust
- 24 Nutter Butter Cookies
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff or Creme
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Cool Whip, divided
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies, crushed
Topping
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, heated in microwave (for drizzling)
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place 24 Nutter Butter cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. If you don’t have a food processor, put the cookies in a large zip-lock bag and crush them using a heavy object. In a separate bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted salted butter until well combined.
- Form and Bake Crust: Press the cookie and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, creating an even crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let the crust cool completely to set.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and creamy peanut butter. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the mixture until it is smooth and well blended.
- Incorporate Cool Whip and Cookie Crumbs: Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of Cool Whip and the 12 crushed Nutter Butter cookies into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Transfer this filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Add Cool Whip Topping: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cool Whip evenly over the top of the pie to create a light, fluffy topping.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Finish with Peanut Butter Drizzle and Serve: Before serving, heat 1/4 cup peanut butter in the microwave until it becomes pourable. Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the chilled pie for an extra layer of flavor. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Using a food processor ensures finely ground cookie crumbs for a smooth crust, but crushing in a zip-lock bag works well too.
- Make sure to cool the crust completely before adding the filling to prevent melting or sliding.
- If you prefer, substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- For a firmer set, refrigerate the pie longer than 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- This pie is best served chilled and stored in the refrigerator.
