Description

This Nutter Butter Ice Box Cake is a no-bake, layered dessert featuring creamy peanut butter filling and crunchy Nutter Butter cookies. Whipped cream and cream cheese create a luscious texture that softens the cookies after chilling, making it an effortless yet indulgent treat perfect for warm days or special occasions.

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 24 Nutter Butter cookies

Filling

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup milk

Topping (Optional)

  • Crushed Nutter Butters or cookie crumbs
  • Chocolate or peanut butter sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Set aside this fluffy whipped cream mixture for folding later.
  2. Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth and uniform. Gradually add the milk while mixing until everything is well combined and creamy.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate it fully without deflating the whipped cream, creating a light, airy filling.
  4. Assemble Layers: In an 8×8-inch dish (or similar), spread a thin layer of the peanut butter filling on the bottom. Arrange a layer of Nutter Butter cookies over the filling, breaking some cookies to fit the dish as needed. Spread another layer of the peanut butter cream mixture over the cookies.
  5. Repeat Layering: Continue layering cookies and peanut butter cream, ending with a final layer of the cream mixture on top.
  6. Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. This resting time softens the cookies and allows flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies or crumbs on top for texture. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate or peanut butter sauce for extra decadence.

Notes

  • Use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a textural contrast in the filling.
  • This cake benefits from being made a day ahead and kept chilled for up to 3 days for optimal flavor and texture.
