Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- 3 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Leave the cream cheese at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to ensure it softens and will blend smoothly without lumps.
- Beat Cream Cheese: Using a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free to create a creamy base.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and consistent.
- Stir in Peanut Butter: Blend in the creamy peanut butter until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy, making sure it’s evenly mixed but not deflated.
- Add Crushed Butterfingers: Stir in about 2 ½ of the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, reserving the remaining pieces for garnish.
- Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the filling set firmly and develop flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with the reserved crushed Butterfinger pieces and optional extra whipped cream for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easiest mixing and smoothest texture.
- Use creamy peanut butter to maintain a smooth filling without graininess.
- Folding in whipped topping preserves the light, fluffy texture of the pie filling.
- For best flavor, allow the pie to chill overnight rather than just 4 hours.
- Garnish adds crunch and enhances presentation.
- This pie is best served cold straight from the refrigerator.
