This simple and creamy Nutter Butter Pie is a crowd pleaser! It can be made in advance easily and you can even sub-out the Nutter Butter Cookies for any cookie of your choice! It’s totally versatile…Cookies and Cream Pie…Thin Mint Pie…So many options!
Can you guys even believe it’s March? I literally blinked and missed February.
I think it’s because of the horrendous, never-ending winter we are having..I am trying to hibernate until it’s over.
And with hibernation comes food. You know, to store as reserves.
Unfortunately for my jeans I have been doing a lot of “hibernation eating”. It’s all very problematic.
And really, what would hibernation eating BE without pie? AmIrightoramIright?
There was this one time I was food shopping and I heard this lady on the phone saying to her friend, “I am buying all these pies because they’re on sale and gonna stock up my freezer for summer days by the pool.”
She totally said that.
Who eats pie by the pool? Isn’t pie a sweater wearing food only?
Is there a WHOLE PIE SEASON I DON’T KNOW ABOUT??
omgallthequestions.
Anyhow, I am doing pie today as it was intended. In my sweat pants with sufficient muffin top.
Pie by the pool…pfft.
This Nutter Butter Pie is super simple and also totally adaptable. Not a pb fan? Do it up right with Oreos. Got extra Girl Scout Cookies? Thin Mints would be mad awesome.
Let me show you…
Start with the crust. Crush your cookies and then mix them with some butter.
Press that all into a pie pan.
Bake it for a few minutes and let it cool completely.
Next up make your filling. It’s just cream cheese, peanut butter, whipped cream and more cookies!
Also, go ahead and make your own whipped cream here. It’s better than trying to sub in Cool Whip.
Mix more crushed cookies right into the filling mixture…
And spread that all over your cooled crust.
and..
Now, you could totally stop there, but I went ahead and made some more whipped cream. I mean, why not?
I spread that all over the filling.
THEN. I microwaved a little bit of peanut butter…just so…
Yeah, a little drizzle action never hurt anyone.
Let it chill for a few hours and BOOM. Pie.
I am a bit of Nutter Butter fan, so check out these other fun recipes I have:

You can use just about any cookie for this. AND you can omit the peanut butter from the filling with no problems!
Tried this pie and it was great. Not sickingly sweet like one may think. My bf loved it. This is probably the first Pinterest recipe that really was as good as claimed. I made the whipped topping as suggested but next time will just use coolwhip. thank you!
Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you liked it!!
One of the problems of living in Hawaii is that it’s always swim suit season. There’s nowhere to hide your pie eating binge. I eat it anyway and just make sure I put on a cover up the moment I get out of the ocean. This one looks great.
Pie season is like cookie season…all year long. I can totally see myself huddled over a pie plate while everyone else is swimming because my butt is going to be in the house soaking in the A/C, says the Mississippi girl who hates summer, humidity and sweating. haha
Adding this pie to my pie rotation. 😉
Pinned. My daughter and I are so making this today! Just a suggestion…support you local Girl Scout troop. A box of Do So Do cookies would be a great substitute for the store bought cookies. Thanks for the recipe. We can’t wait until dessert time tonight!
Hey there
I love your blog!!
This looks amazing, just wondering can I leave out the marshmallow fluff and what would you suggest using instead?
Thanks Sarah
You don’t really taste the fluff at all, if that’s what you’re worried about… it just adds a thickness and texture to the pie.
Thanks Shelly, I’m from Oz and not sure if fluff is sold here:-(
OMG! This looks sooo good. PINNED! 🙂
Oh wow….peanut butter dreaminess…
Thanks so much for not stopping at the filling…I would have had that sense of loss without the extra whipped cream and that perfect drizzle of peanut butter…sigh…
Thanks for sharing!!
Pie by the pool is so much cooler than popsicles and bbq. You could freeze this into popsicle form…but then you’d have smaller pieces which just isn’t cool
This is seriously looking so good! Loving all the step by step photos too 🙂
Good god, Woman!
This pie looks so yummy and easy.
