Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (about 250g), crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (225g), softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (120g, optional)
  • 6 regular Butterfinger candy bars, crushed (about 1 1/2 cups / 150g)
  • 8 ounces whipped topping or whipped cream (225g), thawed if using frozen
  • 2 extra Butterfinger bars, crushed (for garnish)
  • 2 ounces melted chocolate (60g, for drizzle, optional)
  • Whipped cream rosettes (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or Ziploc bag until fine crumbs form.
  2. Mix crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
  3. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  5. Add vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter (if using). Beat until well combined.
  6. Fold in whipped topping gently with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain.
  7. Stir in crushed Butterfinger bars until evenly distributed.
  8. Remove crust from freezer. Spoon filling into crust, spreading evenly.
  9. Top with extra crushed Butterfinger bars and drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
  10. Smooth top and add whipped cream rosettes around the edge for garnish.
  11. Cover pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  12. Slice with a sharp knife (wipe between cuts for clean slices) and serve chilled.
  13. If filling is too soft, freeze pie for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF sandwich cookies. Peanut butter is optional for extra flavor. Chill pie thoroughly for clean slices. Substitute Butterfinger with other crunchy candy bars if desired. For a lighter version, use sugar-free whipped topping and sweetener. Pie freezes well for up to 1 month.
