Ingredients

Crust

• 24 Oreos

• 7 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

• 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

• 1 cup confectioners sugar

• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter

• 1 cup chopped Butterfingers, about 12 fun size bars

• 8 ounces thawed whipped topping

Optional Topping

• Whipped topping or Cool Whip

• Additional chopped Butterfingers

Step by Step: How to Make No Bake Butterfinger Pie

1. Prepare the pie dish
   Lightly grease a 9 inch pie dish with butter or shortening. This prevents sticking and ensures clean slices when serving.

2. Make the Oreo crust
   Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine, even crumbs. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while processing on low speed. Continue blending until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.

3. Shape and chill the crust
   Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crust evenly. Place it in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.

4. Prepare the filling
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and peanut butter with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

5. Add the candy
   Stir in the chopped Butterfingers using a spatula. Distribute the pieces evenly for crunchy bites throughout the pie.

6. Fold in whipped topping
   Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Use slow, sweeping motions to maintain the airy texture. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and fully blended.

7. Assemble the pie
   Spoon the filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.

8. Chill until set
   Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and sliceable. For best results, chill overnight.

9. Garnish and serve
   Before serving, top with extra whipped topping and additional chopped Butterfingers if desired. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy.

Helpful Tips

Use room temperature cream cheese. Cold cream cheese can create lumps and make mixing difficult.

Do not skip freezing the crust. This step helps it hold together when adding the filling.

Chill for the full 4 hours. The filling needs time to firm up properly for clean slices.

For easier slicing, dip a sharp knife in warm water and wipe it clean between cuts.

If you do not have a food processor, place the Oreos in a sealed zip top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine.

Substitutions And Variations

Swap the Oreo crust for a graham cracker crust if you prefer a slightly less intense chocolate flavor.

Use crunchy peanut butter for even more texture in the filling.

Try different candy mix ins such as chopped Reese cups or chocolate chips for a fun twist.

Make it gluten free by using gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies.

For a richer chocolate flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before chilling.

If you prefer a homemade whipped cream option, replace the whipped topping with 3 cups of freshly whipped heavy cream sweetened with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Storage Instructions

Store Butterfinger Pie covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

For longer storage, you can freeze the pie for up to 1 month. Wrap it securely in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

If freezing individual slices, separate them with parchment paper to make grabbing a single portion easier.

Avoid leaving the pie at room temperature for more than 2 hours, especially in warm environments, as the filling contains dairy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Butterfinger Pie chilled straight from the refrigerator for the best texture.

Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk to balance the sweetness.

For an elegant presentation, add a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of crushed candy on each slice.

You can also serve smaller slices alongside fresh berries to add a refreshing contrast to the rich peanut butter filling.

For parties, consider making mini pies in muffin tins for individual servings that are easy to transport and share.

Frequently Asked Questions About Butterfinger Pie

Can I make Butterfinger Pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead. In fact, chilling it overnight often improves the texture and flavor. Prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.

Can I use natural peanut butter?
It is best to use conventional creamy peanut butter. Natural peanut butter can separate and make the filling less stable.

Do I have to use a food processor for the crust?
No. You can crush the Oreos in a sealed bag using a rolling pin. Just make sure the crumbs are very fine for the best texture.

How do I know when the pie is set?
The center should feel firm when gently pressed. If it still feels soft or jiggly, allow additional chilling time.

Can I freeze Butterfinger Pie?
Absolutely. Freeze it tightly wrapped for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving for the best consistency.
