Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Prepare the crust. If baking your crust, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. (Now is also a good time to get out your cream cheese to soften)
- Add Nutter Butters to a food processor and blend until they are fine crumbs.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. Pour the butter into the food processor and blend well.
- Dump the mixture into a 9 inch pie pan or springform pan. No need to grease the pan.
- Use the bottom of a glass or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- Refrigerate/freeze the crust for 1 hour or bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350.
- Cool the crust completely if you baked it.
- Put your jar of hot fudge in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, until it is easy to spread.
- Spread about 1/2 cup fudge on the bottom of the crust.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter and beat until incorporated.
- Mix in milk and vanilla.
- Add half of the cool whip and fold it into the mixture. When it is mostly incorporated, fold in the remaining cool whip.
- Spread the peanut butter filling on top of the hot fudge.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2-3 hours, until firm.
- Heat up any remaining hot fudge. Add a little peanut butter to a bowl and melt it in the microwave.
- Use a spoon to drizzle peanut butter and fudge over the whole pie, or each slice as you serve it.
- Garnish with extra Nutter Butters.
Notes
This pie can be stored in the freezer for a week. For a softer texture, let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.
