Ingredients
Crust
- 24 Oreos
- 7 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chopped Butterfingers (about 12 Fun Size bars)
- 8 ounces thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Topping (Optional)
- Additional whipped cream
- Additional chopped Butterfingers
Instructions
- Prepare Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with shortening or butter to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Make Oreo Crust: Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse at high speed until they become fine crumbs. While running the processor at low speed, slowly add the melted butter and process until fully combined.
- Form Crust: Press the Oreo crumb and butter mixture firmly into the base and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to create an even crust. Place the crust in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and creamy peanut butter with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Butterfingers: Gently fold the chopped Butterfinger candy bars into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Incorporate Whipped Topping: Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) to keep the filling light and airy, then spoon the filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.
- Smooth Filling and Chill: Smooth the top of the pie with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
- Optional Garnish: Before serving, optionally top the pie with additional whipped cream and chopped Butterfingers for extra flavor and decoration.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled for a deliciously creamy and crunchy dessert experience.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- You can substitute the Oreos with gluten-free cookies if needed for dietary preferences.
- Freeze time for the crust is important to help it set properly before adding the filling.
- The pie is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to add more or less chopped Butterfingers depending on your candy preference.
