Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Crust
- 15 Nutter Butter Cookies, crushed finely into crumbs
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
For the Filling
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 (8 oz) Container Cool Whip
- 10 Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, quartered
Toppings
- 10 Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, quartered
- 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces candies
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Nutter Butter Cookies finely using a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix well, then press the mixture evenly into an 11-inch pie plate to form the crust.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. If a hand mixer is unavailable, use a spoon and mix thoroughly, though it will take longer. Add the powdered sugar and mix until the filling achieves a creamy consistency.
- Fold in Cool Whip and Reese’s Cups: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated. Stir in the quartered miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups carefully to distribute evenly without deflating the mixture.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared crust. Refrigerate the pie for about 30 minutes to set the filling slightly.
- Add Toppings and Chill: After chilling, top the pie with the remaining quartered Reese’s peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces candies. Refrigerate the pie until fully set and ready to serve.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, chill the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- This pie is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until serving.
- Feel free to substitute Reese’s toppings with other peanut butter candies of choice.
- Use a hand mixer for the smoothest filling texture; mixing by hand may result in a denser pie.
