Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 7 tablespoons (105 ml) butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- ¾ cup (180 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120 g) chopped Butterfingers (about 12 Fun Size bars)
- 8 oz (226 g) whipped topping
- 1 cup (120 g) confectioners sugar
- Cool Whip (optional)
- Chopped Butterfingers (optional)
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground, then blend with melted butter to create a uniform, moist crumb mixture.
- Crust Molding: Press the crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring complete coverage of base and sides, then freeze for 20 minutes to solidify.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese until smooth, then blend in confectioners sugar and peanut butter until silky and fully incorporated.
- Texture Enhancement: Gently fold chopped Butterfinger pieces and whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light, airy consistency.
- Assembly: Transfer the creamy filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an elegant, even layer.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours to set, then garnish with additional whipped cream and sprinkled Butterfinger pieces before serving.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Perfectly: Use a food processor for uniform, fine crumbs to create a consistent, sandy texture that will form a solid base.
- Butter Binding Technique: Pulse melted butter with cookie crumbs to ensure even moisture distribution, preventing a dry or crumbly crust.
- Chill for Structure: Freezing the crust for 20 minutes helps solidify the base, making it more stable and easier to slice cleanly.
- Whip with Care: Beat cream cheese until completely smooth to avoid lumps, ensuring a silky, professional-looking pie filling.
