Make this simple, no-bake Butterfinger Pie featuring a chocolate cookie crust, a creamy peanut butter filling, and crushed Butterfinger candy bars for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert.
1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6–8 standard bars)
Whipped topping, for garnish
Extra crushed Butterfinger, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine fillings: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in candy: Gently fold in the 1 cup of crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the chilled chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly.
Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For faster setting, you can freeze it for 2 hours.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped topping and sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfinger pieces. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For an even easier crust, you can use a store-bought frozen chocolate pie crust.
If you are planning ahead, this pie holds up well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This recipe is a great option when you are looking for simple summer pies that do not require turning on the oven.
