Instructions
1. Make the Crust:
- Crush the Nutter Butter cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Mix with melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully combined and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
4. Add Toppings & Serve:

- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crunch, mix chopped Nutter Butter cookies into the filling.
- Make it lighter by using light cream cheese and Cool Whip instead of heavy cream.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for a firmer, ice cream-like treat.
