- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 family-size packages Nutter Butter cookies
- 2 tbsps Nutter Butter cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Layer Foundation: Precisely line the bottom of a 9×13 inches dish with Nutter Butter cookies, ensuring complete and tight coverage without gaps.
- Cream Preparation: Whip cream cheese and peanut butter together using an electric mixer until silky smooth, eliminating all potential lumps and creating a uniform mixture.
- Texture Integration: Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter blend, maintaining its airy volume and creating a light, creamy consistency.
- Initial Assembly: Spread one-third of the peanut butter cream evenly across the cookie base, creating a consistent and smooth initial layer.
- Cookie Layering: Strategically place a second layer of Nutter Butter cookies over the cream, completely covering the surface with precise placement.
- Cream Repetition: Apply another portion of peanut butter cream, ensuring comprehensive and uniform coverage of the cookie layer.
- Final Construction: Top with a final layer of cookies, covering with remaining cream and creating an elegant, smooth surface.
- Decorative Finish: Sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies across the top, adding visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Chilling Process: Securely wrap the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Precise Cookie Placement: Ensure cookies touch each other without gaps for a stable, consistent base layer.
- Smooth Cream Technique: Beat cream cheese and peanut butter until absolutely lump-free for a silky, luxurious texture.
- Gentle Folding Method: Incorporate whipped topping carefully to maintain its airy structure and prevent deflation.
- Chilling is Crucial: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to develop and layers to set perfectly.
