Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker pie crust
Filling
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 (12-ounce) container cool whip, thawed
- 7 (2.1-ounce) Butterfinger candy bars, crushed (divided: 6 bars for filling, 1 bar for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until it becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth and creamy base.
- Fold in cool whip and candy: Gently fold the thawed cool whip and six of the crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, maintaining the fluffiness of the mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the prepared cream cheese and Butterfinger mixture evenly into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfinger candy bar pieces on top for added texture and decoration.
- Chill the pie: Cover the assembled pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For easier crushing, place Butterfinger bars in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin or bottom of a glass.
- The pie can be refrigerated overnight if desired for better flavor melding.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and richness.
- To make slicing easier, dip the knife in hot water before cutting to get clean slices.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for freshness.
