Today we’re sharing a recipe for Butterfinger Pie. This pie was created a whim by adding butterfinger candies to our peanut butter pie and turned out amazing. It’s now become a favorite in our family dessert rotation.
All about Butterfinger Pie
This pie comes together so quickly and easily. You can make a homemade graham cracker crust but if you’re short on a time, a store bought one works great too. Just let your cream cheese soften and your cool whip to thaw and you’re ready to make Butterfinger Pie.
If you refrigerate this pie after you make it, then it is a fluffier pie like many other pudding or cool whip pies. We prefer to store the pie in the freezer and to take it out to cut pieces for serving as needed. When you store it in the freezer it almost has the texture of ice cream. So, then you feel like you’re eating a Butterfinger ice cream pie. It is hands down delicious and so refreshing.
