Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making your new favorite dessert!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Crust:
- 24 Nutter Butter Cookies
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
For the 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
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, gently warmed
Let’s Bake:
- Preheat & Prep: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This pie begins with a cookie crust that’s as simple as it is delicious.
- Crust Creation: Take your Nutter Butter Cookies and pulverize them into fine crumbs using a food processor. No food processor? No problem! Seal the cookies in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a heavy pan. Combine these crumbs with melted butter, press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate covering the bottom and sides, and bake for 11-12 minutes. Allow it to cool completely afterward.
- Filling Fantasies: In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, Marshmallow Fluff, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth. A hand-held electric mixer works wonders here. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of Cool Whip and the crushed Nutter Butter cookies, then lovingly spoon this mixture into your cooled crust.
- Chill & Serve: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the filling for that final touch of creaminess. Refrigerate your masterpiece for at least 2 hours to set. Before you’re ready to serve, drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the top for a finishing flourish that’s as pretty as it is tasty.
