Make this rich and creamy no-bake Butterfinger Pie using a chocolate Oreo crust. This simple candy dessert comes together quickly and is perfect for potlucks or family gatherings.
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 plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in the peanut butter until fully combined.
Fold in the topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Fold in 1 cup of the chopped Butterfinger pieces.
Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter mixture evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Spread it out with a spatula.
Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm. This step is important for a clean slice.
Prepare the whipped topping: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Top and finish: Spread the homemade whipped cream over the chilled pie filling. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped Butterfinger pieces over the top.
Serve: Keep the pie refrigerated until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy this indulgent candy bar treat.
Notes
For the easiest crust, pulse the whole Oreos (cream filling included) in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
If you do not have heavy cream for the topping, you can use an additional container of frozen whipped topping, folding in 1/4 cup of peanut butter for flavor.
You can make this make-ahead dessert up to one day in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
