Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 Butterfinger bars, crushed (reserve some for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate to set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add peanut butter and heavy cream, then beat the mixture until fluffy and fully combined, ensuring a light texture.
- Fold in Toppings: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture until incorporated. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger bars, reserving some to sprinkle on top later for extra crunch.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust in the pie dish. Make sure the surface is smooth and even for an attractive finish.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Butterfinger bars on top of the filling to enhance the flavor and texture. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and chill.
- Serve: Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, crunchy, and sweet no-bake Butterfinger Pie as a delicious dessert or treat anytime.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Use a 9-inch pie dish for best results with crust and filling proportions.
- Chilling the crust before adding filling helps it hold shape and prevents sogginess.
- You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter but mix it well to avoid separation.
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
