Butterfinger Pie

Butterfinger Pie


  • Author: OliviaBennett

Description

A creamy, crunchy, peanut-buttery pie that requires no baking—perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or any time you want a dessert that wows!


Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 225g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup (135g) creamy peanut butter

  • 1½ cups (180g) crushed Butterfinger bars, plus a small handful for topping

  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Crust:

  • 1 prepared pie crust (graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust works best)


Instructions

  1. Mix cream cheese & peanut butter: Beat together in a large bowl until smooth and lump-free. Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through.

  2. Fold in whipped topping: Use a spatula and gently fold until uniform and airy.

  3. Add Butterfinger pieces: Stir in most of the crushed candy, leaving some for garnish. Be gentle to preserve crunch.

  4. Assemble pie: Spoon filling into the pie crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved Butterfinger pieces over the surface.

  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is best) to let flavors meld and filling firm up.

  6. Serve: Slice with a knife dipped in hot water for clean edges. Optional: add extra whipped topping or a few Butterfinger crumbs per slice.

Tips & Variations:

  • Chocolate Lover: Use a chocolate cookie crust and fold in ½ cup mini chocolate chips.

  • Cookie Butter Swap: Replace peanut butter with speculoos cookie butter.

  • Caramel Layer: Spread caramel sauce on the crust before adding the filling.

  • Mini Pies: Use individual mini crusts for single servings.

  • Lighter Option: Use Neufchâtel cheese, reduced-fat peanut butter, and light whipped topping.

Make-Ahead & Storage:

  • Can be made a day ahead—perfect for stress-free entertaining.

  • Freezes 1–2 months wrapped tightly; let sit 10–15 minutes at room temp before slicing.
