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.

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.

So I guess to make this in a 9x13 pan, I would double everything?

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.
