Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended and form a smooth consistency.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated and creates a light, fluffy texture.
- Take the pre-made graham cracker pie crust and spread the peanut butter cream mixture evenly across the bottom of the crust, using a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Crush the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces. You can do this by placing the bars in a sealed plastic bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger pieces generously over the top of the peanut butter cream layer, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup in a decorative pattern across the top of the pie, creating a visually appealing finish.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your No Bake Butterfinger Cream Pie!
Tips
- For the smoothest peanut butter mixture, ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature before mixing with powdered sugar.
- Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush Butterfinger bars into uniform, small pieces for the best texture and distribution.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream to achieve maximum volume and stability.
- For a cleaner slice, run your knife under hot water before cutting the pie.
- If you want an extra indulgent version, drizzle some additional chocolate syrup on each slice before serving.
- This pie can be made up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
