How to Make Butterfinger Pie

For full recipe details, including ingredient measurements, see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here are my step by step instructions for making this creamy Butterfinger Pie:

1. Prepare the Crust

Using a food processor, grind Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter and press into a deep dish 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.

Ingredients for a recipe are laid out on a counter: a food processor with ground chocolate cookies, a bowl of melted butter, two small bowls of powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and chopped nuts.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, that’s ok! You can use a rolling pin and place the Oreos in a zip top bag to crush.

2. Whip the Cream

Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or hand mixer, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer half of the whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.

3. Sweeten the Cream

Stir powdered sugar into the other half of the whipped cream. Set that aside as well.

4. Make the Filling

In a separate bowl, whisk cold milk into vanilla pudding until smooth and thick.

Reserve about half a cup of chopped Butterfingers for the topping and stir the rest into the pudding mix.

Fold in the unsweetened whipped cream until no streaks remain.

5. Combine Everything Together

Pour pudding and fresh whipped cream mixture on top of the Oreos in the pie plate. Top pie with sweetened whipped cream (either spread on top or decorated with whipped cream rosettes).

Sprinkle top with the last of the butterfinger pieces.

Pro Tip: If all the filling won’t fit, save the rest as a little snack for later, or you can use a springform pan.

7. Cover and Freeze

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 6-12 hours or until completely solid.
