Nutter Butter ice box cake is made by layering cookies, peanut butter pudding and whipped cream for a delicious and easy no bake dessert.

Nutter Butter Ice Box Cake

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

No bake Nutter Butter ice box cake is a must have in your dessert recipe collection.

It’s simple, easy to make and absolutely incredible. I’ve never made this without getting rave reviews from my family and friends.

This is a frequently requested recipe all year around but especially in the warmer months.

There’s nothing like a nice cold dessert to cool you down in the summer time.

Also, the fact that this is a no bake dessert makes this recipe even better!

I’m not a great baker to begin with. So anything that I don’t actually have to pop into the oven is perfect for me.

You really can’t go wrong with this dessert. It’s a peanut butter lovers dream come true.

I hope you give this recipe a try. I know that if you do, you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Nutter Butter Ice Box Cake Variations

I love this dessert recipe as it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

  • Cookies- Nutter Butter cookies really amp up the peanut butter flavors in this recipe but and kind of stuffed cookies like Oreos would work here, too. Double stuffed works, too!
  • Pudding- vanilla instant pudding was used here but cheesecake, chocolate or even banana would be great.
  • Toppings- choose your favorite toppings like chocolate or peanut butter syrup, crushed cookies, peanut butter cups or anything you can think of.

Nutter Butter Ice Box Cake Ingredients

  • Nutter Butter Cookies
  • Milk
  • Peanut Butter
  • Vanilla Instant Pudding
  • Cool Whip
  • Reese’s Pieces

Instructions

First, using a hand mixer, combine the instant vanilla pudding and some of the milk together in a large bowl. Let that sit to firm up for about five minutes.

Now, stir in the peanut butter and half of the cool whip until everything is evenly combined and set it aside.

Then, add the remainder of the milk into a cup and dunk each Nutter Butter cookie into it for just a couple of seconds.

Next, place the dunked cookies, side by side, into the bottom of an 8”x 8” serving dish.

Now, add half of the peanut butter mixture onto the cookies and carefully spread it out over the top.

Then, add another layer of milk dunked cookies to the top of the peanut butter mixture.

Next, add the rest of the peanut butter mixture and carefully spread it out over the layer of cookies.

Now, add a final layer of milk dunked Nutter Butter cookies to the top of the peanut butter mixture.

Then, add the remaining Cool Whip and spread that out evenly on top of the cookies.

Next, sprinkle the top with Reese’s Pieces and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Finally, serve cold and enjoy!

    In step 2 it states now stir the peanut butter & 1/2 whipped cream, for someone very new to desserts they may not catch those 2 items are being added to the pudding mixture.

    Well apparently the pudding step should have been added after mixing peanut butter and whipped topping together. So I guess I'll see how it goes.

    Hi Tara! Wondering if, when you say to mix instant pudding with milk, if you mean pudding out of the package or pudding that was made according to the package instructions first then mix with milk?

    So I made a moresugar free option due to my diabetes. I used sugar free pudding mix and sugar free whip topping. It looks and smells delicious

    I am excited to try this- I read the ingredients then started to mix them when I realized I was only supposed to use 1 1/4 of the milk and not the 1 3/4 cups milk as read on the ingredients list. ? But the pudding still firmed up okay, so I guess ? Bet I'm not the only one to do that.
